Internet Services Config SHORT

short FirstClass Internet Services config After you installed FirstClass Server and Internet Services and start both, you have to install FirstClass Client and login as user: admin and password admin. It's a good choice to change your admin password in the collaborate menu now. Open "Internet Services" icon on the FC desktop. You'll see many more icons. Now open "Basic Internet Setup". I used the home-net IP of the computer for primary domain name (10.0.0.140) and the IP of my router for primary DNS server (10.0.0.135). In Mail I switched off any mail choice as I don't use mail in FirstClass. In Web I activated HTTP, in File I activated FTP. That‘s all. Now open the "Advanced Web & File" icon. Allow anonymous HTTP & FTP here. Nothing happens, anonymous users will see no contents yet. If you want anonymous users to see contents (Websites, files), you have to create Websites and/or FTP folders and give access to the "Unauthenticated Users" group. Now you have to configure what's missing: Open the "Gateway & Services" icon on the FC desktop. Now open the "Internet" icon. You must set the "Internet Services gateway password" you want to use to log into Internet Services. By default, the password is blank. For security reasons, we recommend you enter a password immediately. I used the admin password. Now save and close the window. Disconnect and close FirstClass Client. Stop Internet Services and stop FirstClass Server. Now open folder /Library/ FirstClass Server/ Double-click on the file " inetsvcs.fc" or drag&drop it on FirstClass Client. FirstClass Client login window opens, but now you see User: 1000000000 Password: Put in your "Internet Services gateway password" here, save and close FC Client. (don't change this user name!) Start FirstClass Server and start Internet Services again. Now you can make a portscan on the server‘s home-net IP (I use iOS NetAnalyzer for that) and you‘ll see this: before after Please note: FirstClass server and Internet Services is only configured now for your home-net and can't be reached over Internet. For activating Internet you have to tell your router which ports he has to open and which computer (IP) in the home-net is the FirstClass Server. Moreover as most of us don't have a fixed IP in Internet (the IP changes from time to time) you need a (free) service like www.noip.com which points an easy to remember hostname like "myfcserver.zapto.org" to your dynamic IP address. Your router calls www.noip.com everytime when your Internet IP numer has changed. Otherwise, on Mac OS X there is an app called "Send my IP" that sends an email to certain receivers everytime the Internet IP changes, which includes the new Internet IP. That's very simple. I.e. you can use this IP to connect to your FC Server by using FirstClass Moblie. Use the built in FirstClass Client Administrator HELP to read how to add users and more.
