Configuring network connections

Corel LINUX provides utilities that let you communicate with other computers and people across a local network and across the Internet.

Dial-Up performs the process of dialing the number to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and completing the connection with the ISP server. It lets you set up dial-up accounts if you connect to different networks or ISP's and configure modem options. Samba Client is installed with Corel LINUX. Samba lets Corel LINUX and Microsoft Windows computers work together on a network, sharing file and printer services. An Ethernet connection lets you communicate with other computers on a local network, for example, in an office setting.

You can also configure your computer to perform as a network server. Corel LINUX comes with server software to let you set up your Corel LINUX computer to act as any of the following servers: Apache Web server, ProFTPD FTP server, qmail mail server, Samba server, NFS server, and DHCP server. For information about maximizing your Corel LINUX server capabilities, see the Corel LINUX Server Administrator Guide.
