Requirements

To function properly on iSeries and with network clients, iSeries NetServer™ requires the following:

• An iSeries server properly connected with Version 4 Release 2 (V4R2) OS/400 or later configured for a TCP/IP network.
• A system name that does not conflict with the system name that iSeries Access for Windows uses. See Server name guidelines for more information.
• An up and running Network Printing Server (NPS) in order to make use of iSeries NetServer print sharing capabilities. See Configure iSeries server for NetServer for more information.
• Client for Microsoft Networks network component installed on your PC client. Once this component and TCP/IP are installed and configured, you will have access to the integrated file system directories and the iSeries server output queues shared with the network.
  Note:
  If Linux clients are used, the appropriate Samba support must also be installed.
• The iSeries NetServer server name and Internet Protocol (IP) address resolution strategy. For example, Domain Name System (DNS), Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), or LMHOSTS file.
• Boss Option 12 (Host Servers), an optional part of the Base OS, needs to be installed for correct iSeries NetServer function.
