I set my DNS and HTTP proxy and went to the domains.com site to sign up, but I have a question first. In the email address field, is that an email address on the public internet, or an email address on VesperNet? Just trying to figure out what I should use, because I don't have email set up on my 7200. Another question is what search engines are on VN? I saw a thread on PPP, but I thought there was another one for VesperNet. |

You don't need both, the HTTP proxy is just a bridge for VesperNet; easier to apply than forcing a DNS server onto the system for some I reckon. The proxy server uses the DNS server for lookups, while using the DNS directly eliminates the need for a proxy server. As far as the account goes on domains.com, I don't think I made it a required field (but I can look that up and make sure later) - normally it would be an email address within the environment (vespernet). There is still work to be done with many of the different services, so not everything is set up 100% yet, for instance email notifications and such. The PPP feature is also part of VesperNet, and it will connect you to the environment as well as provide an internal IP as well as DNS (provided the system is capable, if not; set DNS manually) VesperNet is split into .org for the "organizational" side of things, while .net is the service portal (which also provides PPP access). And if you check the Help section for the .net side, you'll notice that one account is viable for many different services. search.com is currently the only search engine behind VN that works against all domains / zones provided by the DNS server (where access is given to the crawler) Finally, given time ... I will hopefully be able to wrap up something I've been working on for a very long time, I'll leave the guesswork to the audience.

That's awesome! Are we allowed to comment on it? I don't want to spoil it for anyone hehe  Also, I use that network number on my AppleTalk network. I don't think it was default, either. So that's a coincidence that our 16-bit network number is the same lol.

Sure, if you want to There is a severe lack of proper / detailed documentation on how it works, but it could also be me looking in the wrong direction ... so the whole thing is more or less trial and error by reading bits and bobs as they are discovered, this after getting it to "function" somewhat (connecting, negotiating, adressing etc)

I wish I still had a working landline.

That's the beauty of the vespernet solution; you don't need one

VesperNet is pure magic! And it looks like getting even more magical! AppleTalk AppleTalk AppleTalk! I can't wait! Because VesperNet provides its own "DNS world" any address (of any kind) used while you are connected to it are resolved by it. So they aren't (necessarily) "real". They could be, or at least the packets could end up routed there, but that's up to Vesper. It is like an Internet of its own, that happens to link to the rest of the world, indirectly. This is why you can pick your own email address on all those domains, without having an account on them...as long as you're connected to it.
