Handling Internal and External IP Addresses This section discusses the difference between external IP addresses (available on the Internet), NAT (Network Address Translation) addresses. NAT addresses are mapped in packet with an address comes in from the Internet, goes through a company router (or other device), then is translated to an internal IP address. Under normal NAT, the same internal IP address is usually assigned to the same computer each time. However, the LAN frequently uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Program) as well as NAT. The DHCP service keeps a pool of IP addresses, and assigns them to computers as they boot up and access the network. A PC can get a different IP address from this pool every time it connects. These setups potentially can be accessed from both internal users, and external users on the Internet. However, this access must be configured by the Network Administrator. Internal users must use the internal address, and external users must use the external address. Finally, internal addresses only can be used, but that means that only internal users can access the system. External users can also reach a system set up with NAT, but the Network Administrator has to specifically configure this access in the router. For example, a router’s external IP address is 11.222.333.1. The router has NAT on the internal side of the network. On the internal side, there are 20 computers, and one of them, 111.333.444.100, is running ChatSpace. on port 8000. Another computer on the internal side, 111.333.444.101, is running the company web site on port 80. The Network Administrator would have to configure the router to use a Virtual Server. That setup is basically just a mapping table that says: Line 1. Any request to my(router) port 8000 should be sent to 111.333.444.100 (on its port 8000). Line 2. Any request to my(router) port 80 should be sent to 111.333.444.101 (on its port 80). This is an example of NAT (Network Address Translation). PAT (Port Address Translation) would involve changing the port as well, so that you might have a definition like: Line 1. Any request to my(router) port 81 should be sent to 111.333.444.100 (on its port 8000). Line 2. Any request to my(router) port 80 should be sent to 111.333.444.101 (on its port 9000) 3
Database Usage Normally, Community Server installs itself into the SQL Server running on the computer. If no SQL Server is running on the computer, the installation program offers you the option of installing Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE), a lightweight version of SQL Server that is included with ChatSpace, or running against a database on another system. The MSDE installation takes place in the background during the ChatSpace installation. If an existing SQL Server is being used that resides on the same server as the ChatSpace Community Server, the installation program automatically creates the database and sets all of the required definitions. See the ChatSpace Installation and Quick Start Guide for instructions on selecting a database. Running against a Database on another Computer If you choose to set up Community Server’s database on a different computer, some additional steps are required to accomplish this: 1. Copy C:\Program Files\ChatSpace\Community Server\CSSrvr\Programs\ChatSpaceSetup.sql to the C:\ drive of the computer where the database resides. 2. Run the ChatSpaceSetup.sql script either by using the Query Analyzer tool in SQL Server’s Enterprise Manager, or by typing the following command from a command (MS-DOS) prompt: osql –E –I ChatSpaceSetup.sql Note You need Administrator access to the SQL Server computer and you need to know the account information (userid and password) for database access. If you do not have this access or information, contact the database administrator. 3. On the computer on which Community Server is installed, bring up the ODBC Data Source Definition for ChatSpace. a. Access the Windows Control Panel. b. Open Administrative Tools. c. Open Data Sources (ODBC). d. In the Data Sources window, click the System DSN tab. 4
