If necessary, enter a name for the file server in the Server Name text field. By default, the file server assigns the AppleShare IP server's unqualified DNS name (the name before the first dot) as the Windows file sharing server name. (For example, an AppleShare IP server with the DNS name "myserver. company. com" has "myserver" as the unqualified Windows server name. ) Apple recommends you use the name provided because that makes it easier for some clients to connect to the file server. 22 Chapter 2 If you decide to change the server name, it must be a valid Windows host name with 13 or fewer characters and no special characters or punctuation (such as /\[]:+"|<>=;, *?or space). 6 Type the workgroup name for your server in the Workgroup text field. Windows computers use the workgroup name to describe their local group of computers on the network. 7 If you like, type a description for the server in the Description text box.
