In addition, you can add further personal information, e.g.: - Image URL -- the URL of your photo as GIF or JPEG.
You may find the URL in your personal homepage on the web. BSCW will upload the picture
if it´s on your local system: therefore BSCW does not need access to your local system
in order to display the picture later.
- Homepage URL -- the URL of your personal homepage on
the Web.
- Other information -- The text you enter here will be shown in address
books and members pages of your workspaces below the line containing your
name.
BSCW will convert HTML in this field (between <P> </P>)
so that Web browsers can interpret it. Thus, text in this field
may include a link to Web pages of your organization or department
-- which is not possible in the 'organization' field.

To establish a computer conferencing link you can provide the information necessary
by selecting Options
My Profile
Communication
This brings up the 'Change Personal Communication Profile' form:
- Directory Lookup / Directory Services -- 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 wrong 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 are not quite sure.
In addition, specify the computer conferencing programs that
are 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 4.5.1.1).
