NetXpress Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
(Setup Instructions)

Warning note: Please make sure that you do not set up any Proxy Services to our site.
This will result in your system only being able to access our site, but you will not be able to access other site's services such as FTP,Telnet,WWW, etc.

The following instructions assumes that none of the networking features are set up yet. If the networking features that we are discussing here are factory configured, it may be necessary to remove them and re-install them in order to follow these steps exactly.

We are in the process of updating these setup instructions as we encounter more NT users accessing NetXpress's services and learn of the various configuration issues.

Note: We have only tested this with NT40 Workstation with out any Service Packs installed.
