In general, a protocol is a well-defined set of rules that two computers must comply to in order to be able to exchange information, most importantly, over a network. Since such a rule set must be respected by all computers that take part in the conversation, protocols are frequently described in an industry or even international standard.
&os2; supports many networking protocols, which can be set up with the "Adapters and Protocols" object in the "Network Setup" folder.
The two most important protocols in use today are &link_tcpip; and &link_netbios;, which allow you to connect to both the &link_internet; and Local Area Networks (LANs) with &os2;.
For detailed information about networking protocols, refer to
the MPTS Configuration Guide.
