To select a server, follow these steps: 1. Open Net Watcher. 2. Choose Administer ➪ Select Server. The Select Server dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 22-6.

You have to enter the password only once to access each server. Disconnecting a user You can disconnect a user from the server you’re monitoring at any time. Before you discon- nect the user, however, you should make sure that user has closed all open files from his or her computer. You can disconnect a user only in Show Users view. To disconnect a user, select the user and then choose Administer ➪ Disconnect User. A warn- ing dialog box appears. Click Yes to continue. Net Watcher doesn’t warn the user when you disconnect him or her. When the user tries to access the computer, however, the drive is not available. Closing a file As with disconnecting a user, you must be careful when closing a file that is in use. You should warn a user before you close the file so that the user can save changes. If the user doesn’t save changes, he or she will lose unsaved data. Note
