box, however. You must restart in MS-DOS mode first.

Running the Server
==================

To get up and running you need to load a packet driver for the 
Ethernet card you are using, set the IP address in 2NET.CFG and 
load the server with the command "2netftp". You will then be able 
to log on with a standard ftp client as guest, password guest. You 
can also log on as anonymous any give any password. The connection 
will time out after 10 minutes so that an idle session does not 
limit access to others. In the full version the timeout period may 
be changed, see the User and Configuration Guide (user.pdf) for
details.

IP Addresses
============

The server needs a permanent IP address in order that browsers can 
contact it. The 2NET.CFG file as supplied is pre-configured with 
the IP address 10.0.0.254, which is taken from a range of 
addresses allocated for private networks. Many networks are 
configured like this, using a product such as WinProxy to connect 
to the public Internet. If your network is of this type, and there 
is no device already allocated 10.0.0.254, then the server should 
operate straight away. If not you will have to allocate an IP 
number yourself and modify 2NET.CFG.
