net use
- A command that is used for connecting a
computer to—or disconnecting a computer from—a shared
resource, or displaying information about computer connec-
tions. The command also controls persistent net connec-
tions.
NetBIOS
- Network Basic Input Output System is an appli-
cation programming interface (API) that augments the DOS
BIOS by adding special functions to local-area networks
(LANs). Almost all LANs for PCs are based on the NetBIOS.
NetBIOS relies on a message format called Server
Message Block (SMB).
Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Allows a single real
IP address to be used by multiple PCs or servers. This is
accomplished via a creative translation of inside “fake” IP
addresses into outside real IP addresses.
open setting
- A setting assigned to a service port or library
category when creating a rule, or when setting up a filtering
profile or the minimum filtering level. If an item is given an
open (pass) setting, users will have access to it.
override account
- An account created by the global group
administrator or the group administrator to give an autho-
rized user the ability to access Internet content blocked at
the global level or the group level. An override account will
bypass settings made in the minimum filtering level.
peer-to-peer
- P2P involves communication between
computing devices—desktops, servers, and other smart
devices—that are linked directly to each other. Using this
feature of the Web Filter, groups and/or individual client
machines can be set up to block the use of P2P services
specified in the library category.
profile string
- The string of characters that define a
filtering profile. A profile string can consist of the following
components: category codes, service port numbers, and
redirect URL.
