The Novell® TCP/IP software provides a set of configurable parameters with which you can modify operational characteristics of the Internet Protocol (IP). You can select its routing protocol and configure it to run over a LAN. In NetWare® 6.5, configuration over WAN connections is not supported.
To configure IP, you enable the protocol, set its parameters, and bind it to a network interface. You can configure all IP parameters from the Novell Remote Manager utility.
