Dial-up Connection - ISP has DNS system   Your server and/or your network will be set up with a Dial-up connection to the Internet. Your ISP will provide the DNS support for your network and registered servers while connected to the ISP. The ISP will maintain your Domain and Host names.When not connected, you will have to use IP addresses to connect to local TCP/IP servers. The most effective setup for a network connected to the Internet via a Dial-up connection is to use a gateway device that dials into your Internet Service Provider. This device can be anything from an ISDN router to a computer set up with gateway software. An example of software that allows a computer to act as a gateway is Vicom's IP Gateway. An example of a hardware router is a Netopia ISDN router. You will need to request from your ISP the following information: Domain name (i.e. mybusiness.com) for your company or organization along with Host names for local servers (i.e. www.mybusiness.com and accounting.mybusiness.com.) Note: The ISP may have to register your company's domain name for a fee. IP addresses assigned to your Internet gateway, Web, FTP, and/or Mail servers. IP addresses for Subnet Mask, and Router ISP's Domain Name Server address(es) The assigned IP addresses will be entered in the TCP/IP control panel of your AppleShare IP server and, if applicable, Internet gateway. Refer to router or gateway documentation for further configuration assistance. Domain and host names will be used by clients connecting to your AppleShare IP server.
