 *** 1) November 28 FoxPro User Group - Harold Chattaway - How to Set Up a
Network ***

User Group: FoxPro Group
Date:       Wednesday, November 28
Time:       7:00pm
Location:   Microsoft, 6th floor, 230 Third Ave. Waltham MA

Speaker: Harold Chattaway

Topic: How to Set Up a Network

Harold presents a specially taylored version of the special three hour
preconference
seminar he gave on this subject at the Great Lake Great Database Workshop
on this subject.

This seminar will cover the architecture and hardware behind a
home-based/small office
network. The purpose is to demonstrate how to host a Visual FoxPro web
application on a
home or small office web server to avoid the expense of using a hosting
company or to
provide a testing environment for a new site. We'll cover the use of
routers, firewall,
switches, and connectivity options ranging from dial-up to the new
satellite services.
The components of a home-network are basically the same as what is found in
a true data
center, but on a smaller scale. This will provide the necessary background
to understand
the issues needed to get your box on the web.

· Choices for connectivity: cable, DSL, T1, satellite.
· What is a hub?
· What is a switch?
· What is a router?
· How do I use a firewall?
· What kind of network configurations are available?
· What kind of cabling do I use?
· How do I guard against power outages? UPS units and generators.
· Basics of setting up a web server for the web.
· Private IP address space and the HOSTS file.

During the session, we will also show how to guard against hacker attacks
using firewalls
and hacker detection software. Hacking attempts will be demonstrated.
