Updating your system software

To take advantage of performance improvements and new AppleShare IP features, you need to upgrade your system software. You should upgrade to system software version 7.5.3 or later.

To determine the version of system software your computer is running, choose About This Macintosh from the Apple (K) menu.

Contact your AppleShare administrator for more information about upgrading your system software.

After you upgrade to System 7.5.3 or later, you need to install Open Transport 1.1.2. Contact your AppleShare administrator for information about installing it.

Note: After you upgrade the system software of a NuBus-based computer, you need to turn on Open Transport by using the Network Software Selector in the Apple Extras folder on your startup disk. If your computer has a small amount of memory, you must enable virtual memory before you can turn on Open Transport. Use the Memory control panel to enable virtual memory.

Once youve completed the installation of Open Transport 1.1.2, youll need to configure your AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels. Contact your AppleShare administrator for information that is specific for your network.

Disconnecting from a file server

To disconnect from a file server, drag the icon of the server volume to the Trash.

You are disconnected automatically from the server when you shut down your computer. The administrator can also disconnect you from the file server.

WARNING Be especially cautious when connecting to volumes with the same name in different zones; the volumes may actually represent the same volume that is located on a server that can be accessed in several zones. If you log on to the same server in two zones and you attempt to copy the same files or folders from one icon representing a volume on the server to another icon representing the same volume, data loss will occur.
