How to Create a Network Server

Building a network server means much more than assembling hardware. This article explains critical steps in putting any machine onto the Internet for public access. This article focuses on the requirements for putting a server on the public Internet. Most functions also apply to a local intranet, but you would substitute "network administrator" for ISP in these instructions.

There are a few different ways to get your presence into the public eye on the Internet. This section outlines how you might take a machine you already have and adapt it for use on the Internet. Step one is ensuring the system has Internet software and more specifically, is using the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). As it's name implies, this protocol underlies all the client and server functions performed on the Internet. If the computer you will be using is already communicating with the Internet, it's likely already got the protocol installed.

What Is an ERP Server?

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is business software that assists with the management of internal and external resources. An ERP server is a system dedicated to hosting ERP applications and data. The first ERP server was developed in 1972, when five German IBM engineers started the company SAP. ERP grew out of MRP, or Materials Requirement Planning, when the need for a leaner solution overtook the bulky, administration intensive system. Over the next two decades, a number of large players emerged in the field: Oracle, J.D. Edwards, Microsoft and Peoplesoft. Application ERP servers are used to integrate disparate applications and streamline management of business systems. Many areas of business activity, such as manufacturing, supply chain management, human resources, decision support, and distribution, can be tied together with ERP. An ERP server connects existing systems and presents them through clients on workstations, laptops and mobile devices throughout the ente

How to Wake on LAN With Ping

To remotely boot a computer on a network, you'll need a "Wake-On-LAN" supported network adapter. Once the adapter is installed, the computer can be "pinged" from another computer on the network to initiate the boot sequence. A ping is a signal sent from one computer to another and can be sent directly from the Command Prompt in Windows. Step 1 Open the "Start" menu on the computer that will be pinged, then type "CMD" into the Search box and press "Enter." Step 2 Type "ipconfig/all" then press "Enter." Make note of the following items: Physical address, IP address and subnet mask. Step 3 Open the Command Prompt on the computer from which you will be sending the wake-on-LAN command. Type "ping" followed by the computer that you will be sending the wake-on-LAN command's IP address. For example, if the IP address is "192.168.1.1," type "ping 192.168.1.1" and press the "

How do I configure LAN autodisconnect?

As with RAS its possible to configure a timeout for LAN connections after which idle time the connection will be closed, if you then try and use it the connection will be reconnected, this will be invisible to you but you will experience a slight delay By default this is 15 minutes however it can be changed by directly editing the registry: Start the registry editor (regedit.exe) Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Double click autodisconnect Set to decimal and set the number of minutes (from -1 to 4294967295) Click OK Close the registry editor Reboot the machine You can also configure from the command line but registry is preferred as it does not interfere with any of the built-in tuning Net Config Server /autodisconnect:60 would disconnect after 60 minutes. Valid is from -1 to 65535. To turn off the disconnect set to -1 (registry or net config command), DON'T set to 0 as it will autodisconnect all the time!
