Direct Connection - Local
Net has DNS system
Your server and your network will be set up with
a Direct connection to the Internet. You wish to
have the DNS system on your local network.
AppleShare IP comes with MacDNS to provide this DNS
service. For best performance, install MacDNS onto
its own computer.
Be sure and inform your ISP that you will be
setting up and maintaining your domain name.
If you have a direct connection to the Internet
that is "live" or up all of the time, it is
probably through a router. The router can be a
network device, such as a Cisco router, or a
computer running software allowing it to act as a
router, such as a Macintosh running Vicom Soft
Router or a Windows NT server.
You will need to request from your Internet
Service Provider:
- ISP to enter your Domain name (i.e.
mybusiness.com) in their DNS system along with
public Host names for other local servers (i.e.
www.mybusiness.com and
accounting.mybusiness.com.) Notify your ISP that
you will maintain control of the DNS entries.
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. Internet
gateway requires a static IP address.
Follow these steps to correctly set up your
AppleShare IP server:
- Prepare your computer as detailed in Chapter
1 of AppleShare IP Getting Started manual.
- Configure the TCP/IP control panel of the
AppleShare IP server with assigned static IP
address as well as IP address for local
network's IP gateway or router in the "Router
address" field. Enter local DNS server name
first with secondary as ISP DNS server.
- Install AppleShare IP as instructed Chapter
2 of AppleShare IP Getting Started manual for
Custom Setup.
- In the AppleShare IP Easy Setup program,
choose "Custom" setup when prompted at the
"Choose a Network Type" screen.
- AppleShare IP Easy Setup will also assist
you in setting up MacDNS for domain name
services. For more info on MacDNS, check the
MacDNS manual in the MacDNS folder on your
computer.
Once you have followed and completed the
installation instructions in the Getting Started
manual, your AppleShare IP server should be ready
for service.
For further assistance or for help in
troubleshooting your setup, refer to the AppleShare
IP Help documentation.
