(2) These other services include mailing lists, discussion groups, chatting, file transfer, Telnet, and so on. (3) No, they do not, because the TCP/IP protocols are incorporated into the applications. Users need only minimally configure Internet applications in order to use them, and usually do not need to know anything about TCP/IP per se. (4) In order to use the Internet, the user must have an Internet access account and must have hardware to connect the computer to the Internet. (5) Because computer viruses may be sent by email and if an unsuspecting user opens the virus, the virus may infect and wreak havoc on the user’s computer system. (6) Yes, but only when these protection measures are used consistently and appropriately. (7) Since message boards are Web-based, they are more public than mailing lists and most message boards allow anybody to post messages to the board. (8) An individual typically must become a member of a group in order to post messages to that group. Although most discussion group boards may be read by anyone, access to some boards is restricted only to group members. (9) Yes.

Chapter 2 I. Answer the following questions (1)What is newsgroup and what topics does newsgroup cover? Usenet is a collection of electronic discussion groups, each functioning as a sort of special-interest bulletin board. In general, bulletin boards or forums-such as Usenet newsgroups-function as communal e-mail. Each electronic discussion bulletin board is called a newsgroup. It is a place to share information, thoughts and feelings, where you can read news, respond to it and even post your own article They cover all manner of topics: politics, history, pets, books, movies, musi sex-even practical firsthand information on certain software! Within each of many general categories there are subcategories, and even subcategories of those (2)Does newsgroup work in the same way as the Web? No. a typical Web site exists on a Web server somewhere on the Internet, and folks anywhere can access your Web pages. Although search engines such as Excite, Infoseek, or Yahoo can help folks find your site, your site exists in one place. That is, your site can be accessed from anywhere and from any computer But Usenet newsgroups are different. First off, the newsgroups' news isn't located at computers operated by Internet service providers, schools, universities, and companies These news servers contain databases of newsgroup articles. To access newsgroups, you connect to one of these servers, much as you'd connect to your ISP's mail server. And the etwork structure of Usenet isnt centralized at any particular computer or site, it's spread all over the place So, basically, there is no central server on Usenet. Theres a bunch of servers, each one connected to other news servers (3)How does the article I post pass on to other news server? Newsgroup articles are passed along to lots of separate news-server computers. These news servers connect to one another. The news move from one news server to another. For example, your ISP's server sends your article to another server. That server will pass my article on-feed it-to the servers connecting with it, and so on. Your article will simply propagate itself from server to server, traveling to places you might never expect (4)Why cant you see all the newsgroups since theoretically speaking, there is no central ontrol over the Usenet news process? Thats because there is a lot of local control, and that strongly affects which newsgroups you see, and how you see them. For example, your ISP doesnt decide which Web sites you can visit. But, in fact your ISP could censor out certain sites if it wanted and some do. Thats because administrators of newsgroup servers choose the newsgroups they'lI carry. Sometimes they do not carry all the newsgroups that the server upstream (5) How are newsgroups named? Theyre structured into parts separated by dots. Each part may be up to 14 character ng, and should consist only of letters, digits,“+”and“-”, with at least one letter. Names fall into clear hierarchies. The first part is the most general. The second is more specific

But, in fact, your ISP could censor out certain sites if it wanted, and some do. That’s because administrators of newsgroup servers choose the newsgroups they’ll carry. Sometimes they do not carry all the newsgroups that the server upstream from it carries. (5) How are newsgroups named? They’re structured into parts separated by dots. Each part may be up to 14 characters long, and should consist only of letters, digits, “+” and “-”, with at least one letter. Names fall into clear hierarchies. The first part is the most general. The second is more specific
and so on. For example, all computer-related groups fall under"comp", and all recreational/hobby groups fall under"rec. Each may be subdivided into second, third and lower level hierarchies, such as the"rec photo" " example above (6)What process do you have to go through if you want to log on to one newsgroup by using Internet Explore 4? In Internet Explorer 4, click Go/News button. This will automatically take you to Outlook Express news reader. Then follow the instruction, and enter your name and e-mail address and then the name of the news server. Next you'll indicate the type of Internet connection you have(Lan or phone connection) and indicate which dial-up connection you've already established(the one currently serving your Web/e-mail access will work fine. (7) How can you subscribe and read articles from newsgroup? Once you have established the connection to one or two news servers, you may click on the news server icon and select Subscribe. A newsgroup Window will pop up and connect to the news server. If you've never connected to the news server before, the newsgroup reader will download the names of all the newsgroups carried on the server After that, you can start to browse through the list of newsgroup names and their descriptions, or type in the name of a specific newsgroup. Or you can enter a word to search for a list of newsgroups containing that word If a group interests you, select it and click the Subscribe button This essentially links you to that group. The reader will then list any separate news articles that you haven't read To read an article simply double click it (8)If you want to link your Web site to newsgroups, what should you do You may employ certain operating systems including news server software, such as Netobjects, and most Unix operating systems. This will link your site to the newsgroups at that news server and carry its newsgroups If you use NetObjects Fusion, you may choose a link, then click on the External Link tab. Click on the arrow next to URL and select News: // then fill in the newsgroup name you want to link to (9)Why does it happen sometimes that those accessing to your site from a different ISP cannot link to a newsgroup at your own ISP? Thats because the IsP may block outsiders from accessing the news server. They may have hit the firewall and were blocked from access. So before you make the link to a news server, you'd better ask the Web site host if they are willing to provide the access (10) Is starting a newsgroup easy No. It is a complicated process. First, check and see if there already exists the newsgroup you imagined. Then, find if the Usenet users think that it is needed because you have to convince the main news server providers to carry your group. To do so, you'd better post an on-line proposal and put it to a vote. 2. Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the phrases from the list.
