Hi Kathy, Because of port security, we were not able to set up a stand-alone Ariel (server) behind our firewall. What we have done instead is set up two machines (two licenses). One is a "client" machine behind the firewall, on the regular, secured network. The other is the "server" machine and it is in our DMZ (sort of behind a firewall, but far fewer security restraints). The client 'talks' to the server machine and the server machine 'talks' to the Ariel world at large. Every five minutes or so (customizable), our client machine syncs up with the server machine for sending and receiving items.
Obviously, it would be ideal if you could just use the one [server] machine behind your firewall with specific ports open. That just wasn't available to us because of our institutional IT security policy. http://www4.infotrieve.com/ariel/arinstal.html#firewall Just FYI: We're on Ariel 4.1.1 and use Infotrieve's Store & Forward server (for delivery to us).
