Nexland Pro: Appendix
Finding Server Names
The following procedure is used for finding abbreviated server names used by some
ISPs (mostly Cable). These server names are short like “mail” to represent the e-mail
server’s address in your e-mail client. Or “web” to represent your home page in your
browser.
These abbreviated addresses do not work with routers like the Pro. You must use the
full Internet address. There are two ways you can find the full addresses:
Call your ISP and Request the “Web” Addresses (full domain names)
Or
