• Directory information -- specify whether and at which email address you are listed in the online directories ("White Pages") that BSCW supports.
• Communication capabilities -- BSCW identifies the IP address used by your computer automatically. However, the result can be false if you use a proxy server or work behind a firewall. In this case, you can specify the IP address to be used by BSCW.
  Depending on your computer, there are different ways to determine this address -- ask your system or network administrator if you do not know.

In addition, specify the computer conferencing programs that you have available on your machine. Correct specifications and the appropriate configuration of your browser enable BSCW to set up links to partners with the suitable equipment automatically (see section 4.5.1.1 for details).
