Dear List Members,
from the Reference Web Poster info under
http://www.risinc.com/rwp/rwpprod.html I learnt that
"To Run Reference Web Poster You Need ... Dedicated access to a
TCP/IP network "
What does TCP/IP network mean?
Is this a routine feature of servers or something that you only find
under special circumstances?
How can I find out?
Looking forward to your answers!
Sincerely
Hanno V.J.Kolbe

Hi Hanno,
TCP means transmission control protocol. TCP handles sending data
from one point ot another. IP means internet protocol (where
internet means "internetworking" and not The Internet. It takes
care of figuring out what was received and where it should go.
So TCP/IP is the channel of communication between two systems. It's
also a collection of different protocols for doing
that.....email,web,ftp,nfs,etc.
Hope this helps,
Christine

Now **I'm** curious:
Would I be right in assuming that in the US TCP/IP is pretty much
universal, but in the future this may not be so?
Or should I assume that if I am ANYWHERE in the world and
have an ethernet connection and dedicated, static IP (not a modem
connection), can send e-mail and use a web browser....
that the protocol is TCP/IP ???

Hello from Spain:
I've never heard about such a thing as "US TCP/IP". I think TCP/IP is standard
and universal, and so, you should assume your second sentence. In fact, right
now, you are using TCP an me too. Was this your doubt?
Hoping not to be wrong.
Sara.

Sara:
True in a way, and not wrong, but not quite the answer I was looking for.
(I think my problem is that I've been reading the first chapters of
Tannenbaum's book on Networking, and I've started confusing old networking
politics and a whole bunch of other factors with current day
realities--rather than holding to what's relevant to this situation with
RWP. It seems that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing at the moment
for me.)
Bringing it back to Reference Web Poster I guess I'm suggesting that TCP/IP
may not be the only protocol that a user might have to use; they might have
a Novell LAN (IPX protocol), might be using IBM's SSN protocol, ... and
there are other protocols than TCP/IP; a fact that becomes more relevant
the further away from US/Euro ISPs one gets. If my expectations and
assumptions were that I could use RWP to serve my data on a LAN to others
in my library only, then I might be disappointed.
I agree with you, Sara, Hanno is probably pretty safe as long as he's
contributing e-mail to this discussion list and is (or seems to be :-) at a
French University--he's *probably* has a TCP/IP connection. I was just
curious and thought it was worth checking out with the systems
administrator in one's organization before buying the software. (Well,
....at least *I* find it interesting enough that I go harrass the systems
admin.... quite regularly :-)
