Macintosh Clients

A Macintosh client must meet the following requirements:

• Macintosh System Software Release 7.1, 7.5.1, or 7.5.2 is installed.

• MacTCP Release 2.0.6 is installed.

• MacTCP has Ethernet selected (not EtherTalk).

• Domain Name Services (DNS) are available to the Macintosh. You need to manually configure DNS correctly.

  The domain name and the IP address must match the information in the /etc/resolv.conf file on the DNS server. The /etc/resolv.conf file points your machine to the correct name server. If there is no resolv.conf file, the resolver uses the nameserver on the local machine, for example:

  domain companyname.com nameserver 137.69.8.2

• The TCP, DNS, and UDP utilities are available for use on the Macintosh. It is advisable to also have the ping utility available for troubleshooting.

• You must specify the fully qualified name of the Backup server on the Macintosh client.
