The ArcIMS Host computer runs the ArcIMS Web site, and the ArcIMS remote computer accesses the Web site from a Web browser via the Intranet or Internet.
An Intranet client has NFS access to the ArcIMS Host, and an Internet client has only HTTP access.

To view ArcIMS Web sites created using the ArcIMS Java Standard Viewer, the following components must be installed on the remote computer:
J2SE JRE 1.3.1 or higher (the Java Plug-in is included with JRE )
ArcIMS Viewer
If the remote computer has ArcIMS Manager or ArcExplorer—Java Edition installed, the J2SE JRE and ArcIMS Viewer are already available on it. If not, Internet clients are prompted to install these via the ArcIMS Viewer installation. Intranet clients can copy the necessary components to their computer. See Installing ArcIMS Viewer on a remote Solaris computer.
There are four steps required to set up a remote ArcIMS Viewer:
1. Setting up the ArcIMS Host computer
2. Installing J2SE JRE 1.4.2 on a remote computer
3. Installing ArcIMS Viewer on a remote Solaris computer
4. Setting up ArcExplorer—Java Edition on a remote computer
The steps have different instructions for Internet and Intranet clients, where appropriate.
