To Configure NIS or NIS+

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.

   • For Windows 95, click the Configuration tab.

   • For Windows NT, click the Services tab.

2. Double-click Solstice NIS/NIS+ Naming Services, or select Solstice NIS/NIS+ Naming Services and click Properties.

   The Solstice NIS/NIS+ Naming Services Properties dialog opens.

3. Click Enable NIS or Enable NIS+ to enable the appropriate name service for your network.

4. Enter the name service domain.

   The name service domain is the complete name of your domain, usually ending in .COM, .EDU, .NET, .ORG and so on. To find out the domain name, enter the command below on a Solaris system on your subnet.

   /bin/domainname

5. Specify a name server search order.

   Select a name service and click Up or Down until the service you want is at the top of the list. The NIS or NIS+ service does not need to be at the top of the list for you to browse automount maps.
