Cobalt Qube 3 User Manual 31
Network Integration
Figure 14 shows the Network Integration screen; on this screen, you can do the
following:
• Assign a host name (for example, qube3) to the Qube 3.
• Enter your domain name. The domain name is either the official domain
name that is registered with an ICANN-accredited registrar (for example,
“cobalt.com”) or an intranet domain name specific to your network.
Coordinate the host name and domain name with your Internet service
provider (ISP) to ensure the integrity of your network. If your Qube 3 is
integrated into a larger network, consult with your network administrator for
this information.
This allows you to access your Qube 3 by host name and domain name,
rather than only by IP address.
• From the pull-down menu, select the method by which the Qube 3 connects
to the Internet:
• Gateway on a Local Area Network (LAN)
• Cable Modem or DSL
• Analog Modem or ISDN
If you do not know how you connect to the Internet or if you do not want to
set up your connection yet, you can also select “None or Intranet”. If you
select “None”, you can set up your Internet connection in the Server Desktop
once the Qube 3 is operating. See “Internet” on page 165.
Depending on the method by which the Qube 3 connects to the Internet, a
particular screen appears in the Setup Wizard. For a full description of the
three different screens, see “Internet” on page 165.
• Enter the IP address of your Domain Name System (DNS) server. A DNS
server maintains a list of computer names and their IP addresses. The Qube 3
needs access to this list on the DNS server in order to convert between
IP addresses and names. This conversion is essential for sending and
receiving email external to the Qube 3. For more information on DNS, see
Appendix E, “Domain Name System,” on page 227.
Click the right arrow at the bottom to move to the next screen.
✍
Note: If you choose a type of Internet connection in the previous
step and you do not specify a DNS server, the Qube 3 becomes a
DNS server.
