m If you see a system message on the desktop, as shown in the following
figure, your Mac OS is already set up correctly. Click the OK button to
dismiss the dialog box.
Why the message about your network connection? The Workgroup Server is
preset for a connection to an Ethernet network. When you start up your
server for the first time (before connecting a network cable), you’ll see the
dialog box shown above alerting you that the system temporarily switched
the network connection from built-in EtherTalk (software for Ethernet)
to LocalTalk. However, if you shut down the server and connect to an
Ethernet network later (as described in Chapter 2), the next time you start
up, the system will automatically make the correct network connection
for you.
See the Work gr oup Server Administrator’s Guide for information on
configuring your server’s software.
