3.5General Setup

Menu 1 — General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). The System Name field is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter your computer's "Computer Name".

In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

In Windows 2000 click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

In Windows XP, click start, My Computer, View system information and then click the Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.

3.5.1 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe or other services). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.
