T-Comfort 930 DSL in a Serverless LAN Configuration Examples
In almost all cases, the request will contain a DNS name which is unknown in the internal network. When you
type a URL into your browser, the T-Comfort 930 DSL receives the request to find the corresponding IP
address. If the name is unknown in the LAN, the request is forwarded to an ISP’s external DNS server.
N
Note: Workstation PCs automatically add a domain name to URLs without a dot. You
specify this domain name in the Configurator . For example, if you have configured
“firm.co.uk” as the domain name, an access request for “www.firm.co.uk” will be inter-
preted as a local DNS request which does not lead to the establishment of an Internet
connection. For this reason, you should choose a name which is not used in the Inter-
net as the domain name (“my-firm.co.uk” for example).
RAS Access
You can establish a connection to the T-Comfort 930 DSL from an external PC via an ISDN card.
The necessary IP settings are transmitted by the T-Comfort 930 DSL on establishment of the connection. The
computer that has dialled in has access to all services in the LAN that can be used via the IP protocol. The
authorisation for RAS access is set up in the Configurator via the User Manager: User Groups menu.
The technical properties of the connection can be configured in the Configurator via the NET Configuration :
RAS menu. Further information can be found in the online help of the web console.
In a serverless LAN, Windows uses the NetBIOS protocol for accessing files and printers via the network envi-
ronment. NetBIOS can use NetBEUI, IPX/SPX or IP as the transport protocol. In the network environment, you
can only access files and printers on workstations using IP for NetBIOS.
