Tips
Domain Name Server (DNS)
IOLAN+ can be configured to take advantage of your network’s Domain Name Server (DNS).
This is important for ISPs. From the Administration Menu select server and key in the IP
address of your DNS in the Name server field. You could fill in the Domain name field as well.
WINS Server
If you have a local NT server running WINS and you want dial-in clients to take advantage of
that, put the IP address of the NT server in the WINS server field of the Server Configuration
screen.
MOTD
A Message of the Day (MOTD) can be displayed before login. This is setup from the Server
Configuration menu using MOTD and Boot host fields.
Gateway notes
If you have a router on your local network, make sure you enter this into the IOLAN+
Gateway Menu.
Note
The Windows ® 95/98 client obtains the WINS address by setting 'Use DHCP for WINS
resolution'.
