Selecting network services

    Some applications enable you to open a specific URL or browse the network for application-specific services or general services like AppleShare, FTP, or HTTP.

    To browse for a service:
    Expand the listed network neighborhoods until you see the service, click to select it, and click Choose.

    To select the type of server you're looking for:
    Click the Shortcuts button and select the service type.
     

    If the service you're looking for is not listed:
    Check the service type you have selected (Web server or FTP server, for example).
    Open the Internet control panel, click the Advanced tab, and check the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server specified in the Hosts settings.
    Ask your network administrator if the service is registered in a directory in a network segment where your computer can find it.
    For information on how applications discover network services and what you or your network administrator can do to make a particular service appear in your services list, see the Network Services Location Manager Network Administrator's Guide. Search for the title at http://www.info.apple.com/manuals/manuals.taf

    Tip: To see the source directory types appended to the network neighborhoods in the server list, press the Control key when you open the File dialog box.
