As many campus departments are already aware, Network Services has begun phasing
out AppleTalk and Novell IPX network routing on campus. By July 1, the entire
campus network will have migrated to TCP/IP-based service.
The only noticeable effect this changeover will have is to limit AppleTalk
and Novell users to their local (e.g., in-house) servers. Usually these subnets
are in a single building. Unless you employ TCP/IP-based services, users outside
your building or subnet will not be able to log onto your fileservers or print
to your printers.
TCP/IP-based services are available for both Novell (Windows) and AppleTalk (Macintosh) systems. To use them, you'll probably need to reconfigure servers and desktop computers.
You'll also need to be sure you have current software. (The minimum software
version for Novell to enable TCP/IP services is 4.0, but version 5 is recommended.
The minimum version of MacOS is 8.6.)
