Web/Internet tools and pointers http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v6.html easier for humans to remember and understand things, while computers thrive on numbers. So, these numbers are used to ensure email gets to the right address, that you get the web page you requested, and so on. To check if a domain (web address) is taken, and who the owner is, try Register.com. Eudora Popular email system for Windows, MS DOS and Macintosh computers. Free versions are available . FAQs "Frequently Asked Questions" are information files about services on the Internet, and a wide range of other topics. Useful pointers to resources, and a fairly reliable source of answers that have been tested by real users. FAQs can be found all over the Internet. Several Usenet newsgroups have one specific to their subjects. Some have several FAQs on different, pertinent subjects. Browse Usenet's FAQs at http://mailserv.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/faq/faq.html and http://www.cis.ohio state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/, or retrieve them by email (see "WWW by email" in Chapter 12). You can search (and read) Usenet FAQS at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/faqsearch.html http://faqfinder.cs.uchicago.edu/ Reference.COM (see Chapter 11) is an efficient way of keeping track of changes in important Usenet FAQs. For example, try the search term "australia/oz net faq" to keep WUDFN RI WKH 1HWZRUN $FFHVV LQ $XVWUDOLD )$4 Finger A program that returns information about registered users on a host that is directly connected to the Internet via TCP/IP. You cannot use finger to find user addresses on BITNET or UUCP, or any other networks gatewayed to the TCP/IP Internet. Useful before starting chats (known on the Internet as "talk"), to check your assumption of a person's email address, to learn more about a person, or to get other kinds of information. For finger by email, send an 3mail to agora@dna.affrc.go.jp. Put the following command in the body of your mail: send http://www.mit.edu:8001/finger? Replace with your desired email address, as in send http://www.mit.edu:8001/finger?presno@eunet.no Finger is also being used as a general information system. For example, finger help@dir.su.oz.au for information about how to search some databases using finger. Databases include Archie, Internet, Newsgroups, and Postcodes (Australian Postcodes). Finger to normg@halcyon.halcyon.com for weekly U.S. TV ratings according to the Nielsen rating system, and to solar@xi.uleth.ca for 24 hour solar x ray flare activity reports.

Firewall Method used by several organizations to protect users from the "unsecure" network, and disallow unwanted logins or file transfers from the Internet. An Internet site will be denied a connection if an attempt is made to login to the firewall server. Users behind a firewall can get to servers on the Internet. They can use WWW, 4 of 16 23.11.2009 15:51
Web/Internet tools and pointers http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v6.html Gopher, FTP, and TELNET, but cannot supply resources through these protocols to people outside the company. Check the Firewalls FAQ for definitions, justifications, what firewalls can/cannot do, virus, and other interesting links. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) A program for sending and receiving files to and from a remote computer to your local host. Lets you connect to many remote computers, as an anonymous or guest user, to transfer files back to your computer. Lets you list file directories on foreign systems, get or retrieve files. You cannot browse menus, send email, or search databases using FTP. The easiest is to use ftp with a Web browser like Netscape. Just feed the browser the file's location, in a format like this ftp://ftp.eunet.no/pub/text/online.txt.Z. The codes after the "//" show first the host name, then the directory, and finally the file name of the desired file. Some users type ftp at their system prompt, login on the remote system, and ask for the file they want to receive. It transfers to their local host machine. (For more on this, read under "Internet" in Appendix 1.) Finally, unless their computer is directly connected to the Internet, the retrieved file must be transferred from their host machine to their PC. Where ftp or WWW is not available, you may also use FTPMAIL (chapter 12). FYI "For Your Information." A subseries of RFCs that are not technical standards or descriptions of protocols that are available from http://www.rfc editor.org and many other sources on the Internet. Gopher Gopher is a tool for exploring the Internet and to find a resource if you know what you want, but not where to find it. Gopher systems are menu based in a top level subject oriented way, and provide a user friendly front end to Internet resources, searches and information retrieval. Gopher gets information from certain locations on the Internet to which it is connected, and brings the information to your computer. It can get information via other Gophers at other locations connected to yet other hosts. The Telneting or file transfer protocols are transparent to the user. To access gopher services, run a browser program. The browser reads documents, and can fetch documents and files from other sources. Some services let you fetch gopher information by electronic mail (see Gophermail below). "Common Questions and Answers about the Internet Gopher" are posted to the Usenet newsgroups comp.infosystems.gopher, comp.answers, and news.answers every two weeks. (See FAQ above.) Pointers to Gopher sources may be given in this form: Type=1 Name= United States GOVERNMENT Gophers Path=1/welcome/peg/GOPHERS/gov Host=peg.cwis.uci.edu Port=7000 URL: gopher://peg.uci.edu:7000/11/welcome/peg/GOPHERS/gov If your browser cannot use this information directly, try to deduct the information from the URL line. In this example, it translates into 'gopher peg.uci.edu 7000' , select peg / gophers/ gov. If the gopher command is not available on your system, then you may telnet to the gopher site, and login as 'gopher' or 'info'. The gophers of the world, sorted by country, are at URL: gopher://liberty.uc.wlu.edu/11/gophers/other 5 of 16 23.11.2009 15:51
