Installing the Solaris PC NetLink Client

There are two ways to install the PC NetLink Client software: over the network and from the SEAS product CD.

How to Install the Solaris PC NetLink Client over the Network

When installing the Solaris PC NetLink Client software over the network, the Solaris PC NetLink server software must be installed on a server and the client PC must be authenticated in the Solaris PC NetLink server domain. The client computer must be on the same subnetwork as the server, or you must use WINS.

1. Double-click Network Neighborhood on the PC desktop.

2. Select the server on which PC NetLink has been installed.

3. Open the Tools folder and follow the instructions in the readme_en.txt file.

How to Install the Solaris PC NetLink Client from the Product CD

1. Insert the SEAS product CD in the PC's CD-ROM drive and, when the splash screen opens, click on the PC NetLink icon.

2. Click Next, and then click Yes to accept the terms of the software license agreement

3. Click Next to accept the default installation path.

   The default path is C:\...\SUNW\SunLink Server Manager. To specify an alternative installation path, click Browse and select the desired folder.

   Once the installation path is selected, the installation starts, and you will be prompted to either restart the PC immediately (default) or later.

4. To restart the PC later, select No and then click Finish.

   Restarting the PC updates the Windows Registry with data pertaining to the PC NetLink software.
