How do you configure a Windows 98 PC to connect to a Windows 2000 server which is the domain controller?

This is really simple. There are probably hundreds of places on the net that tell you how to do this, but the simplest way is to ensure that all of the computers have ethernet cards. Have all of the computers connect to a hub, including the server. Go into the control panel, then networking and setup all of the ethernet cards to support Netbeui. From there, on the server, right click on the folder you want to share and give it a share name. Then right click on my computer on each workstation and select map network drive and use the following pattern to map your drives: \\servername\sharename.

There are two principal steps to make your website on the Internet: the first is registering/booking a domain name and then selecting a web host. The web host is the guts of any website; this is where you build and publish your pages, build purchase fillings, insert service and preserve your site.

A domain name builds the address of your site and can end in .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, .biz, .tv, .me, .co, etc. Links to the most popular domain registrars where you can rent domain names in one-year increments are listed below in the "Related Links" section.

To register a domain name one must first find a unique handle. The domain can then be purchased from a domain management company. These companies typically charge an ongoing fee. If the fee is unpaid the domain will once again become available for purchase.

How does using domain names for Internet advertising work?

The way it is set up, the Internet cannot ignore domain names which are like phone numbers to a phone book. Domain names are therefore destinations that Internet traffic will ultimately end up at when web searches are performed. Attracting that Internet search traffic by matching the search to a generic domain name is known as "Domaineering". Domaineering is a semi-composed word derived form the notion that domain names can be "engineered" or crafted to attract Internet traffic from search engines. "Domaineering", which is also known as "domain monetization", is a niche web-based marketing business involving the acquiring and monetizing of names specifically for their use as an advertising medium or platform. Domaineering differs from primarily speculating on domains as intellectual property investments for resale as in "domaining" where generating advertising revenue is considered more of a bonus while awaiting a sale of a domain.

Analogous to the index headings in the yellow pages of a phone book, the domain names function as virtual Internet billboards with generic domain names being highly valued for their revenue generating potential derived from attracting Internet traffic hits. Revenue is earned as potential customers view pay per click ( PPC ) ads or the Internet traffic attracted may be redirected to another website. Hence, the domain name itself is the revenue generating asset, not merely functioning as a web address. As the value is intrinsically in the generic keyword domain name and not in a website, these domains are not intended to be developed into a conventional websites because they are more valuable to their owners as an income producing advertising platform.

As with traditional advertising, domaineering is part art and part science. Often to be the most effective as advertising tools, the domain names and their corresponding landing pages must be engineered or optimized to produce maximum revenue which may require considerable skill and good knowledge of search engine optimization ( SEO ) practices, marketing psychology and an understanding of the target market audience. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the sponsored ad "feed" of a word or phrase searched for thus creating a mini-directory populated largely by advertisers paying to promote their products and services under a relevant generic keyword domain. Occasionally content is added to develop a functional mini-website.

Ethical domaineers and others who advertise online using generic keywords as metatags believe domaineering provides a useful, legal and legitimate Internet marketing service which helps better organize the world wide web. Domaineering is practiced by both large companies who may have registered hundreds or even thousands of domains to individual entrepreneurial minded domaineers who may only own one or a few. The generally accepted definition and origin of domaineering as a distinct Internet marketing practice is attributed to a Canadian Professor named William Lorenz.
