I had hoped to make more frequent updates, but it has become obvious that I have had to delay. There is much activity in the DataPlex lab right now which is keeping me occupied, including some Intellectual Property work and a full investigation into web server-based SQL databases. (The DataPlex Internet Node uses a variant of MySQL.)

It is your "HTTP service" that establishes the network presence of a website and responds to browser requests. Fortunately, this is one of the easier services to set up.
You have many choices for HTTP servers ranging from free software to expensive software from reputable companies.DataPlex Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00589105119801860235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182977.post-1094232610230544742004-09-06T11:45:00.000-07:002004-09-16T00:17:55.903-07:00Part 2 - Setting up the Internet Node PCIf the PC you have selected to be your "Internet Node" is not already hooked to the Internet, you should take the steps many other people have to get it permanently attached with a static IP address. Because of their reasonably high speed and low-cost, I recommend interfacing through either cable or DSL with either a cable modem or DSL modem, respectively.

Depending on the amount of traffic I might expect, I would set up my equipment and choose my location differently.Given my estimated low load of, say, under a hundred or so hits per hour, I decided to locate the node at my residence on its existing DSL line, noting that I could always DataPlex Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00589105119801860235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182977.post-1094196715381622982004-09-02T23:45:00.000-07:002004-09-11T10:51:30.870-07:00Introduction to Setting Up an Almost Free Internet Server NodeHello All. I am "The Tarnz," and I am a first time blogger, so please bear with me as I adjust to this new type of media and idea interchange. Recently, I have been through quite the dusey of an experience, so I thought I would start with it on this, my new Technology Musings blog spot.
In this blog, it is my plan to document the steps I have recently taken to set up my very own Internet server DataPlex Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00589105119801860235noreply@blogger.com1
