Networks in a Multivendor Environments

• server's O/S, the client's O/S & the redirector have to be compatible
• Different clients have to be able to understand each other to communicate. How can you get this done?
• the client solution
• implement the appropriate redirector on the client, the redirector forwards your request to the appropriate destination
• use multiple redirectors to communicate with different clients

 

 

• the server solution
• install a service on the service
• E.g. to let MAC clients share network resources, add Service for Macintosh; Add FPNW for NetWare clients
