iSeries NetServer

iSeries Support for Windows Network Neighborhood (iSeries NetServer™) is an IBM i5/OS™ function that enables Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 clients to access i5/OS shared directory paths and shared output queues. Windows clients on a network utilize the file and print sharing functions that are included in their operating systems. You do not need to install any additional software on your PC to use and benefit from iSeries NetServer. However, if you need to administer iSeries NetServer properties from your PC client, you must have iSeries Access for Windows, iSeries Navigator, and i5/OS Host Servers – Option 12 installed.
