7.2.1. Configuring ClearPath Networking
Following installation of Windows 2000 Server, you must set up a hosts file so that the
Windows 2000 node can communicate with other nodes on the private interconnect (FDDI
LAN). Take the following steps to set up the hosts file:
1. If you are not currently logged on, power on or restart the Windows 2000 node and log
on as the administrator.
2. Click Start, then Run.
A Run window appears.
3. Insert the hosts file setup diskette (labeled “NT Installation Tools”) into the drive unit.
4. In the Run window, type the following, then click OK:
a:copyhost
Note: On Windows 2000, if there is no disk in the CD drive during the copy, you
will receive an error message saying that the system is unable to mount the
volume. Click Continue in the dialogue box to permit the hosts file copy to
complete.
Continue by configuring the number of client licenses (7.2.2).
7.2.2. Configuring the Number of Client Licenses
Windows 2000 Advanced Server provides 25 client licenses. Additional client licenses may
be purchased from either Unisys Corporation or Microsoft Corporation.
Note: The server must have at least one active network connection for this procedure
to work. It is recommended that you have the FDDI interconnect cabled to
provide an active connection at this point.
To set up the correct number of licenses using the Windows 2000 license manager, take the
following steps:
1. If you are not currently logged on, power on or restart the Windows 2000 node and log
on as the administrator.
2. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Licensing.
