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).
NOTE If your site already has an Internet connection and a registered Internet domain name, or if you plan to
connect the InterServe Web system to an internal IP network, you can obtain an IP address and
domain name from your site’s network administrator. Otherwise, use the following instructions to
obtain an IP address and domain name.
Domain Name Service (DNS) provides IP address to system name translation (for example,
129.135.1.2 is represented by www.intergraph.com ). Although DNS is provided with the InterServe
Web system, the operating system’s DNS software only provides outbound connection translation.
Domain name registration lets outside systems on the Internet connect to the InterServe Web system
by system name. If you do not have a registered domain name, outside systems can only access the
InterServe Web system by IP address. Domain name registration can be coordinated with your
Internet service provider, or by registration with the InterNIC. The registration process generally
takes three to six weeks.
For more information about obtaining an IP address and domain name registration, refer to the
InterNIC Web site at
http://www.internic.net or contact an Internet service provider.
