Steps 2 through 10 are covered in the remainder of this document. Connecting to the Internet If you plan to connect the InterServe Web system to the Internet, you must have a valid Internet Protocol (IP) address and a registered Internet domain name. A valid IP address is one which has been issued to you by an Internet provider or by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC).
When configuring DNS, if your site already has a Domain Name Server, enter its IP address. If your InterServe Web system will serve as the DNS, type the IP address of your system. Enter other Domain Name Server addresses, if applicable.
Intergraph Computer Systems recommends that you take the following steps to provide a reasonable level of access security for your InterServe Web system. These measures provide an initial lockdown of your InterServe Web system, and restrict system access to domain administrators and the primary workstation user.

In the SMTP test, use the e-mail address that the mailbox is to use from outside the server. In the POP3 test, use the username and password credentials with which the user will be checking mail.
Installing and Upgrading FrontPage Microsoft’ s FrontPage software allows you to easily create and publish Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) documents on the World Wide Web. To install FrontPage: 1. Log on to the system as Administrator, or as a user with administrator privileges. 2.
