3. 5 8 Setting up an FSG Mail Server An e mail server or simply mail server handles e mails It is responsible for receiving sending saving or forwarding e mails Note In the name of spam protection some freemail providers refuse to accept e mails received from dynamic DNS hostnames Please keep this in mind when sending e mails Configuring the FSG The FSG mail server supports POP3 Post Office Protocol Version 3 and IMAP Internet Message Access Protocol for retrieving and SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol for sending e mails POP3 Communications protocol for retrieving e mails using an e mail client POP3 allows the user to retrieve and delete e mails on the server A permanent connection to the POP3 mail server is not required The fetched e mails are stored locally and available offline IMAP The IMAP protocol allows the user to access and manage e mails directly on the server using an e mail client Un like the POP3 protocol the e mails generally remain on the server and are only transferred to the client as re quired In other words you need an Internet connection to read the e mails IMAP provides detailed access control to mailboxes as POP3 Note Many freemail providers only support POP3 SMTP The SMTP protocol is used to exchange e mails within computer networks SMTP is mostly used to send and forward e mails Set up a Dynamic client under Services gt Dynamic DNS if you have not already done so
4. Basic Router Concepts Even though the amount of bandwidth in your local area network LAN can be provided easily and relatively inexpensively the price of the connection tothe internetis much higher Because of this expense Internet access is usually provided bya slower speed wide area network WAN link such as a cable or DSL modem To use this WAN link efficiently a mechanism must be in place for selecting and transmitting only the data traffic meant for the Internet The function of selecting and forwarding this data is performed by a router What is a Router Arouter splits the information meant for your network and meant for other networks so the available bandwidth is used efficiently The router sends data based on network layer information in the data and on routing tables maintained by the router The routing tables are built by gathering and exchanging information with other routers in the network The router builds up a logical picture of the overall network Using this information the router chooses the best path for forwarding network traffic Routers vary in performance and scale number of routing protocols supported and types of physical WAN connection they support Routing Information Protocol One of the protocols used by a router to build and maintain a picture of the network is the Routing Information Protocol RIP Using RIP routers periodically update one another and check for changes to add to the routing table

8. IP Addresses and the Internet For a computer to communicate with other computers and Web servers on the Internet it must havea unique IP address An IP address IP stands for Internet Protocol isa unique number that identifies the location of your computer on a network Basically it works like your street address as a way to find out exactly where you are and deliver information to you The IP address is written as 4 numbers between 0 and 255 such as 192 168 0 12 121 Freecom Storage Gateway FSG This serves the same basic function as a street address It helps you find out where you currently are while also providing other information The IP address consists of four numbers between 0 and 255 e g 192 168 0 12 Domain Name Server The computer address is difficult to read which is why a second system is used in the Internet by the name of DNS Domain Name Server This translates human readable names suchas www sharemydisk com into computer readable names like 82 161 11 206 Each Internet user must have an IP address You do not need the human readable name but it is quite useful if you want other users to find you A few examples of this include if you operate a web server or if you want to show your friends images stored on your computer Many large companies such as ISPs maintain their own DNS server and let their customers use the server to search for addresses Internet address classes The Internet Assigned N
