Workstation Configuration
In addition to knowing how to configure a station’s hardware, you must be able to configure a Windows workstation to connect to the different types of network operating systems (NOSes)
that might be on your network. For the Network+ exam, you should be able to configure these workstations to connect to the following operating systems:
- Windows NT/2000 servers
- NetWare
- UNIX/Linux
- Macintosh
The process for configuring Windows to connect to these various operating systems is basically the same for all server OSes (only the workstation software component differs very slightly), so
we’ll just cover the two most popular client operating systems’ network configurations.
