Personal web page:
All users that have
accounts on IQ Systems' server receive a personal web page.
This is in addition to any corporate web pages that you may have.
For example, your user account is jsmith and your domain name
is johnybegood.com. In that case, in addition to having
a web server at http://www.johny.begood.com. You also have
a personal web page at http://www.iqsystems.net/~jsmith.
Your corporate web page is
located in www/html folder within your home directory.
Your personal web page is located at public_html folder within
your home directory.
You can access your home
directory / web content in any of the following manners:
1) Microsoft Frontpage®.
You can modify your website by using any version of MS Frontpage
including MS Frontpage 2003. This is limited to modifying
domain accounts only. It will not work for personal accounts.
Just point MS Frontpage to your website.
2) FTP. You can ftp files back and forth to any
folder within your home directory.
3) Secure Shell. Secure shell is a form of a telnet
except everything is encrypted for security. You can download
a free secure shell client for the PC from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
4) Mount it as a drive letter from your windows machine.
You can mount your home directory as a drive letter in any Windows
machine. The path will be \\pluto.iqsystems.net\homes. You can
type the following command on Start | Run to mount a drive letter:
net use * \\pluto.iqsystems.net\homes
* /user:<<Your user id goes here>>
You can of course, you any graphical tools such as Network Neighborhood
to do that as well.
CAUTION: This may not work for you! Some (most?)
of the ISPs block Microsoft networking services ports for security
reasons. There is absolutely nothing IQ can do about
that. If that is the case with you, please understand
that it is extremely unlikely your ISP will open the ports for
you.

Q.
I get following error message when I am trying to send an email:
"Relaying denied"
A. IQ utilizes an
access control means for sending and email using IQ's mail server.
The reason for this is very simple. In today's internet
you just cannot allow anyone to send an email using your server.
Therefore, IQ has implement an access control means called "POP
before SMTP". Don't let the name intimidate you.
It simply means that you cannot send an email using IQ's mail
server without authenticating first. How do you authenticate?
Well, simply by checking your email. It does not matter
if you use "POP" or "IMAP" to check your
email. Once you do, the server authorizes that IP address
to send emails for a specified time (usually 15 minutes, but
can be up to an hour). Therefore, if you setup your Outlook
to check emails say every 10 minutes. You IP address will
remain in the "authorized" list to send emails.
This is an automatic SPAM fighting tool.
