Configuring Internet services

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

Internet Manager main menu


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.

World Wide Web
The Netscape FastTrack Server serves a default home page on the Web.

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.

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

Web
Configure Netscape FastTrack Server, as well as Netscape Proxy Server if it is installed. See ``Web''.

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 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.
