Comfort Pro S in a Serverless LAN Configuration Examples
Install the IP network protocol and a Web browser for every workstation computer which is to have access to
the Comfort Pro S network features.
DNS Name Resolution
In a serverless LAN, the internal DNS name resolution is performed by the Comfort Pro S. If you type the
string “host.domain” into your browser, a DNS request is sent to the Comfort Pro S IP address. The
Comfort Pro S responds with the correct IP address, so that the Configurator home page can be called up.
In a peer-to-peer network (Windows network), the workstations each have a name which is displayed in the
network environment. These NetBIOS names can differ from the DNS names assigned to the workstations by
the Comfort Pro S. The Comfort Pro S is not visible in the network environment.
Internet Access
If access to an ISP has been configured on the Comfort Pro S, the Comfort Pro S can be operated as an
Internet access server without any additional configuration of the workstations. When you want to see a Web
page, you simply type the URL (uniform resource locator; Internet address; “http://...”) in your browser. In a
serverless LAN, the Comfort Pro S is configured as a DNS server and default gateway. The workstation
computer therefore sends its Internet connection request to the Comfort Pro S.
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 Comfort Pro S 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 computers 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 interpreted 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 Internet as the domain name (“firm-cpro.co.uk” for example).
