# Remove Components Page

Use this page to remove from your computer the TCP/IP base applications or TCP/IP-related components presented in the check list.

The Remove program will delete all files, icons, and configuration information associated with the components you check. Be aware that removing the TCP/IP base applications may affect the related components in the list. Always verify the configuration of any remaining components if you remove the TCP/IP base applications. DHCP/DDNS Server, Personal Communications Entry, and VPN, can be removed without affecting other components.

To select a component for removal, check the box for the component. The default is not to remove TCP/IP or any of the components in the list that are currently on your computer.

To exit this program at any time before actual file removal begins, double-click the browser application icon at the upper left corner of your browser window.

The fields on this page are:

TCP/IP Base Applications
  Check the box to remove, uncheck the box to decline removal.

  Removing the TCP/IP base applications may affect other components. For example, if you remove the TCP/IP base and have the NFS or PMX kit installed, the kit will not work until you reinstall and reconfigure both TCP/IP and the kit.

  When the TCP/IP base applications are removed, so are the TCP/IP base configuration files. This means if you remove and then reinstall TCP/IP, you will have to reconfigure TCP/IP before it will work correctly.

DHCP/DDNS Server
  Check the box to remove, uncheck the box to decline removal.

  DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automatically assigns an IP address and configures TCP/IP every time a client computer starts. The Dynamic Domain Name System enables clients to dynamically and directly register their names and addresses in DDNS tables, ending the need for a network administrator to do this manually.

Network File System
  Check the box to remove, uncheck the box to decline removal.

  Network File System (NFS) allows you to share files over the network. For this you need to have NFS server to give permissions to the other clients share your files over the network. Any one can share your files whose having NFS client installed on their system. The NFS Server supports UNIX file permissions mechanism, which honors the file and directory creation bits specified by the clients. Also, NFS Client, which is a part of this package, allows to share remote file-systems.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
  Check the box to remove, uncheck the box to decline removal.

  This component provides a virtual private network for a computer that is on a business intranet that uses IBM Firewall 3.1 (or later).

  TCP/IP for OS/2 uses the IBM Secure Remote IP Client program, together with IP Security, to configure the VPN. The VPN provides a secure communications channel from a remote computer across the Internet to an intranet protected by the IBM Firewall.

  As a result the Internet, rather than costly switched phone lines and modems, can be used to securely connect to a business's private intranet from a remote location, such as a user's home.

  When VPN is enabled, IP security is also enabled.
