Configuring Internet Services

Configuring Internet Services

Once you have successfully connected to the Internet, the Internet Manager displays its main menu, the Internet Services page.

These services can be configured by clicking on the appropriate icon:

Web: If you plan to continue using the Netscape FastTrack Server after an Upgrade installation, you can use the Internet Manager to configure this web server. See ``Web''.
Note that for this release, the Internet Manager cannot configure the Apache Web Server.
Mail: Specify e-mail forwarding, the domain used in addresses, and the postmaster and hostmaster. See ``Mail''.
FTP: Enable and disable file transfer using the FTP protocol. See ``FTP''.
Net: Configure network routing and PPP connections. See ``Net''.
Security: Set the Internet Manager password and specify which systems can use it remotely. If the optional SCO OpenServer Internet Security Package is installed, control all network traffic flowing in and out of the system. See ``Security''.

The configuration of each of these subsystems has been simplified to make it easy to configure the system for common uses. When configuring any of these subsystems, you can click on the More Help button and the Internet Manager will display more information about how to configure it.

When you reach the Internet Services page, important Internet Services have already been configured for you:

Caching Domain Name Service: DNS enables your system to act as a name server for your local network, minimizing delay and network traffic. (See ``Configuring Domain Name Service (DNS)'' if you already have a nameserver for your domain configured on a different machine.)
E-mail: Your system can send and receive e-mail, and any users on your system have POP accounts automatically set up for them.
File transfer: The system allows password-protected FTP access for users on the system.
