How to Set Up a Server Based Network

[By Ferose.Red, Powered By Mizaro Technologies]

Personal computers are becoming more common and less expensive. Many households now have more than one personal computer, and the need for networking computers to share peripherals is increasing. To help with the sharing of devices, printers, Internet connections, and other peripherals, a network can be set up. If you have a number of family members, you can set up a server-based network that will allow you control over the computers, users, and all the devices.

Difficulty:

Challenging

Instructions

things you'll need:

• More than one computer (usually at least three) with installed network cards
• Server computer with more than one network card
• Hub, router, or network connection device
• Basic knowledge of computers and networks

1. • 1

     Plan your network. You need to know what parts of your network will end up where on the network. In a typical network, your server will be the hub of your network, but it will also connect to another network, usually the Internet. Decide which computers will be inside your network and which will not use the network (if any).

   • 2

     Plug one of the server network cards into the external network using a CAT5 or better (CAT5e, CAT6). This will often be the Internet by way of broadband or other connection to an ISP. Configure the server to work to this network using the information provided by your ISP.

   • 3

     Connect the other server network card to your network hub. If you are using a router, do not use the "uplink" or "Internet" port. Instead, just plug it into one of the other ports that are open.

   • 4

     Connect the other computers that will be on your network to the other open ports on the hub. Again, do not use the "uplink" or "internet" port on the router/hub.

   • 5

     Configure the DHCP and DNS applications on your network server. Each operating system will have its own way to configure these systems.

   • 6

     Start up the other computers on the network and configure them to ask the network computer for start-up information. Each operating system will have its own way to set this configuration. If you have set up the DNS to be a domain server, you will need to have each computer join a domain in order to allow them to start up and connect.

   • 7

     Set up accounts for the computers and the users on the server. Again, each operating system will have its own way to set up users and computers.

How to Make My Own Web Server

[By Ferose.red, Powered By Mizaro Technologies]

If you want to avoid costs of hosting your files for use on the Internet, you can make your own web server to handle hosting your files. You need a decent computer with plenty of storage space, RAM, and something that can always be connected to the Internet. When your server is not on the Internet, none of the files on your server will be on the Internet. Follow these steps to turn your computer into your web server.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

things you'll need:

• Computer with at least 1ghz processor and 1GB ram, and plenty of HD space
• Router
• High-speed Internet service
• Domain name
• How to Make My Own Web Server

1. If you don't have a high-speed Internet connection, secure one with a local provider in your area.

2. Secure your own domain name. This will help people get to and from your files on the Internet. This will also give you a place to send and receive email. If you do not have a static web address (if you have cable or DSL connection, you probably will not have a static address) there are several places you can go to secure your domain. Check the resources section.

3. Get your router. Use a regular router, because wireless routers are not suggested for home server set-ups. Your router should have Ethernet jacks and should be capable of port forwarding in order to allow outside Internet traffic.

4. Set up your computer. Make sure that you have your standard computer items including a keyboard, mouse, and a 10/100 Ethernet Network Card. Make sure to have an uninterrupted power supply to keep your system safe in the event of a power outage.

5. To configure your web server, you should start system-config services. Make sure that httpd and mysqld are started and selected to start on boot, then save the service configuration.

6. Verify that your web server is working correctly by opening a browser and pointing it at http://localhost/ (which always points to the web server on your computer). You should see the test page for apache, the web server application.

7. Set up port forwarding as directed by your router. Make sure that all http services or port 80 traffic is sent to the IP address of your web server.
