Riassunto degli argomenti trattati negli articoli precedenti: il Microsoft DNS Server , la scelta della Numerazione IP , l'uso corretto della Subnet Mask .
Dopo i precedenti articoli, che davano delle indicazioni utili al settaggio del Server NT, ma che possono essere usati con un qualsiasi sistema server, vediamo più in particolare quelli che sono i prodotti per Windows NT 4.0 Server che ci saranno utili all' installazione di un Server Internet. Chiaramente completo di tutti i servizi, utili e non, che servono a pubblicare un server che si rispetti. Con i relativi Server WWW, DNS, Mail (SMTP, POP3), Ghopher, FTP, Proxy, Index, etc. Chi più ne ha più ne metta.
Dove! La Microsoft ha allestito delle pagine di link dove troverete sia la descrizione dei prodotti che i relativi links. l'indirizzo è http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/tools/server.htm dove, suddivisi per argomento, troverete i links per le pagine in oggetto. E' tutto talmente chiaro che c'è poco da spiegare. Andateci e provate.
Come trovare e scegliere! Vi do comunque un estratto molto personale (ho scelto esclusivamente il software freeware e tra questo il più "simpatico") delle pagine di link pubblicate da Microsoft:
Conferencing, IRC, Talk, etc.
