[. . . ] For information about the TCP/IP connection settings, see "Instructions for the TCP/IP Connection Settings Worksheet" on page 22. Network names You specify one or two names for the server:  Computer Name: Identifies the server to client computers that are browsing for network file servers, shared printers, or other network resources identified by computer name rather than DNS name. (Mac OS X Server automatically converts the computer name to a form that's valid with SMB file sharing. ) Example: My Server  Primary DNS Name: This is set automatically if it can be determined from the DHCP server or DNS server on your network. It's the full, unique name for the server in the DNS service, for example myserver. example. com. Time zone You specify the server's time zone by clicking the server's location on a map of the world or selecting the closest city from a list. The server is preset to keep its clock accurate by synchronizing it with a network time server on the Internet. You can specify a different time server's IP address or DNS name. For reliable operation of your server, Apple recommends using a network time server. If necessary, you can stop using one and set the server's clock manually. Server backup (Skip these settings unless your server has a partitioned hard disk or multiple hard disks. ) You can set the Time Machine preferences for backing up the server:  Back up this server: Specify whether you want Time Machine to back up the server.  Back up to: Specify a disk attached to the server as the backup destination for server data.  Do not back up: List disks and folders that you do not want backed up. Select services (Workgroup configuration only) If you're setting up a workgroup configuration, you can specify which services your server will initially provide to client computers. For information about client computer backup, see Chapter 9, "Managing Server Information, " in Getting Started. For information about the other services, see Chapter 8, "Customizing Services, " in Getting Started. 18 Mail service You can enable or disable mail service. If you enable it, you can also set additional options:  Relay outgoing mail through: Some Internet service providers or organizations require routing all outgoing mail through a relay server. If this applies to your network, you need to specify the relay server's DNS name. Trying to relay mail through another server without permission may make your server appear to be a mail service abuser.  Send a welcome email to new users: Choose whether to send an email telling new users about its services. The standard message specifies the server's DNS name and the recipient's email address, and it explains the services that the server provides. The standard message also includes links to available file sharing and web services.  Custom introduction: Optionally enter a custom introduction to the standard message that the server generates. [. . . ] A DNS server translates DNS names like server. example. com to IP addresses and vice versa. The DNS server addresses will be set up automatically if you're using a DHCP, PPPoE, or BootP method of configuring the TCP/IP connection. If you're configuring manually, get the DNS server addresses from your ISP. You can also enter the last part of one or more names that you want automatically appended to partial DNS names you enter while using the server. [. . . ]
