When I first purchased BID there was no server version available but I was told that \
it would work on our windows 2000 server, which it did and has done since. However it \
needs some configuration if you want to run a web, mail, ftp and/or DNS server behind \
it. The settings are done manually in firewall.ini. These are the ones I was given \
and that have worked fine. Port 110 and 25 are required for a mail server, at least \
if you are providing mail relay/smtp, port 80 is of course for a web server, port 20 \
and 21 for ftp and port 53 for DNS. In addition, if you running a DNS server you may \
need to add an ACCEPT line also to the [MANUAL UDP low REJECT] area. As for blocked \
addresses appearing and disappearing, I've had a few now you see them now you don't \
experiences - as if the ini file is dynamic and resets itself to default now and \
then. (Which it probably would do if you did an upgrade.) So I maintain a weekly good \
backup of that file and restore it if needed. Tor

  Subject: [BIDissues] Problems after update


  Hi:

  We updated BID a weeks ago. It was running on our NT mail server. In
  doing some checking I noticed there was a server version, but could
  not tell if we actually needed it since the existing version had been
  working well.

  Meanwhile, subsequent to the update I noticed some banned IP addresses
  had vanished, and other settings appeared inconsistent as well.  But
  it seemed to change from day to day.  Finally, one day it started
  bouncing all e-mail traffic so we just shut it down.  

  Just in the way of history... When we originally bought BID it did not
  have it's own GUI for settings-- you either had to edit an INI file or
  use FWC.  But I do not recall having to do anything unusual for that
  NT box to function as a mail server.

  I don't know if we should scrap the current install; reinstall from
  scratch; and setup the settings from scratch. (and do things have to
  be explicitly set up now that were automatic before?) Or:

  Get the server version. Or:
  Get Zone Alarm or some other product.

  Any suggestions and comments would be very welcome.

  Thanks--Jim
