Adding or changing computers
Setting up a client (work station) in Windows
Autoexec.bat and config.sys
Include a path statement as follows in Autoexec.bat
path=c:\notes;c:\notes\data;p:\cmds
If using Latam, include a line in config.sys as follows:
Files=100
User Account On Server
Regional Settings Properties in Control panel
Regional settings
1. Select “English (Australian)” as the regional setting
- Short date format
2. Short date format MUST BE dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy – ie for example 01/07/00 or 01/07/2000. If you use, for example dd/mmm/yy then the date will print “jul” instead of “07”. The only identifiable problem caused by using this format is in the automatic billing of faxes and disbursements.
3. You must use a “/” as the separator

8. Similarly you must connect to the network printers from Control Panel/Printers and "Add New Printer". They are \\whitestar\kyocera and \\amh\kyocera. The printer drivers are installed on the print servers and should be installed automatically. If anyone has problems printing to the Kyocera 3700, check they have the most up to date driver. The most up to date drivers can be installed by running p:\win95\kyocera3700\9xekpdlr (for Windows 95/98 machines) or p:\win95\kyocera3700\n4ekpdlr. There are also drivers for the 1500 there, but this printer shouldn't have as many problems.
Share local drive
9. Share the root folder of the user's C: drive by right-clicking it and selecting Share. In the window that comes up share the folder as WSX$, where WSX is the workstation ID. The password for full access should be 9WSX7 (where WSX is the workstation ID again). Other computers can then connect to the computer's C: drive by running \\WSX\WSX$.
