Minimum Configuration
Regardless of how you intend to use the internet server, you will
need to consider and set some basic system settings. This section
is concerned with describing only those settings that are critical to
the proper functioning of the internet server.
The following settings need to be configured for the internet
server to operate correctly (the first is a System setting, the others
are WAN port settings):
DNS IP Address
Domain Name Service (DNS) servers are used on the internet to
maintain information about which Uniform Resource Locator
(URL) name relates to which internet IP address. For example,
the URL: WWW.NETSCAPE.COM, is a pseudonym for the IP ad-
dress: 203.89.225.67. DNS entries allow users to access resources
using URLs instead of IP addresses.
Options: Any internet DNS server IP address available
through the WAN connection. This address should be pro-
vided by your ISP. (Note that without a DNS server IP,
internet sites will only be available using IP addresses and
will not be available using URLs.)
Default Value: 0.0.0.0
Must Be User Modified? Yes.
