RE: Setting UP DNS

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is all extremely confusing for us Networking newbies.  Maybe we could
get a Networking 101 thread started that was AS400 centered.

Say you started with 3 or 4 pc's running win2000 or xp-pro and a small
AS400, and you wanted to setup a small internal network that was connected
to the web via a cable or other high-speed method, and you wanted to use the
400 to it's best capabilities to host a website, an ftp site, handle e-mail,
interact with back-office applications, etc, where would you start?  Is
there (could there be) a consensus on the "best" way to setup such a
network?

>From reading these posts, it seems like there are too many choices, and
every choice you make has major effects on all the other choices you have to
make down the line.  Maybe, it's the order in which choices and
configurations are made that cause the confusion.  Is there a standard
"cookbook" on what needs to be decided and setup and in what logical order?
Or, would this just start more "holy wars"?
