Users may only need to read Chapter 2 - Installation to begin using DAVE. Although DAVE is very intuitive, additional information is provided in the chapters that follow. If you are setting up a peer-to-peer network, refer to the Installation Roadmap section later in this chapter. Systems Administrators can find detailed technical information in the Technical Information Chapter and in Chapter 10 - NetBIOS Control Panel. In addition, Chap- ter 12 - Troubleshooting gives a step-by-step method for diagnosing problems. If you find a term or acronym that you are not familiar with, refer to the Glossary. What is DAVE? DAVE enables Macintosh users to access Microsoft net- works and associated file and print services. DAVE pro- vides Macintosh users with the ability to mount shared directories on Windows NT (Server and Workstation), Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and other Macintosh computers. In addition, Windows users have the ability to use Macintosh file and printer resources. DAVE provides full peer-to-peer file and PostScript print sharing with both PC and Macintosh systems. DAVE gives both Macintosh and PC users simultaneous read and write access to files stored on remote computers without first requiring users to down- load or copy the files to a local drive. 10 You will see a number of acronyms in this manual, one that you will see often is “CIFS”. DAVE communicates with other systems using what is known as CIFS protocols. CIFS stands for Common Internet File System and is a Microsoft standard method for sharing data and resources. This protocol is also known as Server Message Block (SMB). For traditional Macintosh users, you can think of CIFS as being roughly equivalent to AppleShare, and TCP/IP as being similar to AppleTalk. DAVE Requirements DAVE requires the following hardware and software: ❐ Any Macintosh with a 68030 or higher processor ❐ Mac OS 7.6 and later versions with a minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM ❐ Apple’s Open Transport TCP/IP v1.1.1 or later ❐ Any hardware required to useTCP/IP ❐ CD ROM Drive DAVE requires at least one of the following systems: ❐ Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0 or later or Windows 2000 ❐ Windows 95 or 98 ❐ Other CIFS Compliant Servers (e.g., Samba) ❐ Another Macintosh running DAVE 11 How to Get Additional Support If you are having trouble getting DAVE to operate properly, please refer to Chapter 12: Troubleshooting.
