Configuring network connections

Configuring protocols

Configure protocols for network adapters using the Network Configuration Manager:

To add a protocol:
Select the adapter that will use the protocol from the displayed list, then from the Protocol menu, select Add New.
To modify protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to modify from the displayed list, then from the Protocol menu, select Modify. Enter new configuration parameters as you did when adding protocols.
To view protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to view from the displayed list, then from the Protocol menu, select Examine.
To remove a protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to remove from the displayed list, then from the Protocol menu, select Remove. You will be prompted to confirm your choice and informed when the operation is complete.
NOTE: If your network interface consists of only one adapter and one protocol, deconfiguring the protocol will also remove the adapter.

If your modifications to protocols have altered kernel parameters, the Network Configuration Manager will prompt you to relink the kernel when the manager exits. If you do not answer Yes at this time, you can do so later by selecting Rebuild Kernel in the Hardware/Kernel Manager. You must reboot your system before changes to the kernel take effect.

Additional information about protocol configuration is provided in the SCO OpenServer documentation set:

TCP/IP configuration parameters: See ``Administering TCP/IP''.
NFS^®: See ``Configuring the Network File System (NFS)''.
SCO Advanced File and Print Server services: The Network Configuration Manager enables you to configure SCO Advanced File and Print Server networking transport protocols and applications. See your SCO Advanced File and Print Server documentation for more information.
Other network protocols: The Network Configuration Manager enables you to configure other SCO OpenServer-compatible networking transport protocols and applications; see your vendor's documentation for more information.
