Arachne and LAN (Local Area Network)


Arachne will work on every computer in LAN, where NCSA Telnet works. Setup Arachne to use resident packet driver and configure via BOOTP.

If you want to install Arachne on server (ie. drive S:), but workstations have some local disk space available (ie. drive C:) and each user has it's own home direcotry (ie. H:), try to setup Arachne options like this:

Cache path = C:\CACHE\
Mail path = H:
Download path = A:\
Cache index = C:\CACHE\tohleuz.mam
History file = H:tadyjsem.byl

Don't forget to create directory C:\CACHE!

If workstations use different SCGA cards, run Arachne from C:\ARACHNE - Arachne always saves video card information (AACHNE.PCK) in current directory. But make sure each ARACHNE.PCK sholud use same history file (ie. C:\ARACHNE\tadyjsem.byl
