With LAN Manager, servers share such resources as printers, hard disks, and modems with netstations. In Figure 1-1, the server computer on the left is sharing a printer, a modem, and its hard disk with the

netstation computers on the right. The netstations must have their own hard disks, but can connect to the server's shared hard disk as though were a second local hard disk.

Logging

After you've started your computer as a netstation, you need to log the local area network by typing your administrator gives you your user name, which is the name by which you are known on the local area network, and your password, which is a secret word you supply to prove you are who you say you are. logging on, you show you have permission to use the local area

network. Requiring users to log on helps to prevent unauthorized use

on your local area network. It keeps your valuable data and equipment secure and gives access to the resources you need .

.

Connecting

After you've logged on at your netstation, you can start resources.

complementary terms: Administrators need, and users administrators.

Before you can use a shared resource, you must establish a connection between your netstation and the resource by telling LAN Manager which shared resource you want to use. Establishing a connection is like calling someone on the phone; using the connection is like the actual conversation you would then have with the person on the other end. establishing a connection, you open a channel between your netstation

and a particular shared resource.
