iF YOU GET ANY ERRORS, PLEAE POST THEM BACK, S WE CAN HELP FURTHER.

Oops, sorry about caps lock.  The case of the command does not matter.

sorry guys, that I couldnt get to this sooner...

this is how my notes.ini looks like now:

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0
VINES=VINES, 0, 15, 0
SPX=NWSPX, 0, 15, 0
AppleTalk=ATALK, 0, 15, 0
LAN1=NETBIOS, 1, 15, 0
LAN2=NETBIOS, 2, 15, 0
LAN3=NETBIOS, 3, 15, 0
LAN4=NETBIOS, 4, 15, 0
LAN5=NETBIOS, 5, 15, 0
LAN6=NETBIOS, 6, 15, 0
LAN7=NETBIOS, 7, 15, 0
LAN8=NETBIOS, 8, 15, 0
COM1=XPC,1,15,0,
COM2=XPC,2,15,0,
COM3=XPC,3,15,0,
COM4=XPC,4,15,0,
COM5=XPC,5,15,0,
Ports=LAN0
DisabledPorts=TCPIP,VINES,SPX,AppleTalk,LAN1,LAN2,LAN3,LAN4,LAN5,LAN6,... continues

As I understood, I should remove TCPIP at disabled ports, add Ports=TCPIP under Ports=LAN0 and the other two lines, right?

thanks!

Or should I use: Ports=LAN0, TCPIP  instead of two commands with port= ?
Once TCPIP is running fine I guess I will disable LAN0, or are there any implications with notes? can notes run only on tcpip?


:D THANKS!

Before I came in the NT server where lotus notes server was running didnt have tcpip enabled, for security reasons i guess? So although all the clients where using tcpip, the server was not, so all lotus stuff was made using netbios. Since then a lot has changed, and now I am trying to enable a connection to the lotus notes server from a client on another subnet... so it will have to run on tcpip...

by the way, where can I change the options for connection on the existing clients? Do I have to do that for every user? The client reads the notes.ini thats located on every users home network folder, not from /WINNT/
i dont know why. :D (very new to lotus notes, and more than once I would have liked to delete the whole server and set it up again myself...).. i may need help soon, because  in a couple of months we will be getting a new server and i will have to migrate everything on the new server anyways... (hopefully with a new version)

thanks!

The client setup works just like the server setup, it uses NOTES.INI.  However, yuo don't need console command to eidt it -- you can do that quite nicely from teh client interface.  File -> Tools -> User Preferences.  Choose the PORTS option, then confirm that TCP/IP is enabled, while pretty mch everything else is not.

If you do change protocols, test connectivity; you may need to create connection documents to tell clients how to access server.  Unless you have a properly set up DNS system, with the DOmino server known by its own name.

thanks a lot or the help!!
