2-2 Netra Internet Server 3.1 User’s Manual—September 1996

Before configuring the Netra server, configure your LAN with a network
protocol and the IPX Gateway software. Then configure the Netra server. Next,
install and configure a mail package (it must support the SMTP, POP2, POP3,
or IMAP protocol); set up a Name Service; and add the browser software and
utilities.
Note – If your browser supports caching, make sure this feature is either
disabled or configured to verify documents every time. In addition, do not use
proxy servers to access the Netra administration modules.
Installing the IPX Gateway on a Client System
The IPX Gateway is a client-server application that provides transparent
TCP/IP connectivity to SPX/IPX clients. The IPX Gateway enables any
NetWare® client to access Internet services such as Web browsers, mail, news
groups, and file transfer capabilities through the built-in IPX-to-IP gateway.
The IPX network number that is used on the existing NetWare server must also
be used in the IPX Gateway’s configuration in the Netra server on that LAN.
For example, assume you have the setup shown in Figure 2-1.
