How to Use LANfiltrator on some one that is on a LAN, WAN, Proxy, or Router.

Ok 1st what dues LAN & WAN mean.

LAN
A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a home network) or many as thousands of users

WAN
A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically dispersed telecommunications network. The term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from a local area network (). A wide area network may be privately owned or rented, but the term usually connotes the inclusion of public (shared user) networks. An intermediate form of network in terms of geography is a metropolitan area network (MAN).

Proxy

In an enterprise that uses the Internet, a proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between a workstation user and the Internet so that the enterprise can ensure security, administrative control, and caching service. A proxy server is associated with or part of a gateway server that separates the enterprise network from the outside network and a firewall server that protects the enterprise network from outside intrusion.

Router.

On the Internet, a router is a device or, in some cases, software in a computer, that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to. A router is located at any gateway (where one network meets another), including each Internet point-of-presence. A router is often included as part of a network switch.
 
A router may create or maintain a table of the available routes and their conditions and use this information along with distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet. Typically, a packet may travel through a number of network points with routers before arriving at its destination. Routing is a function associated with the Network layer (layer 3) in the standard model of network programming, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. A layer-3 switch is a switch that can perform routing functions.

The first thing you need to do is edit the server, with your settings, like a normal server.
If you want to get access to a computer on a LAN, you will need to put your IP or a Dns Redirection in to the general section of the server editor, you need to do this because the server will need to make an out going connection to the client, and if your IP is not in the server then the connection will not take affect between the server and client. If you want to know how to get your IP you can get it in the server editor next to the “?” of the IP Text box, the next thing is to setup a reliable notification. I recommend you use CGI if ICQ doesn’t work for you.

Now the IP is in the server and you have put the necessary notifications in to the server, the IP in the server is just like a SIN notification method.

OK, when you receive notification, the message will tell you what the remote computer is using -- Proxy, LAN, or Modem. Well, if it is a Proxy or LAN then you need to do this with the client.

Open the client up like normal and click the button called LAN quarantine.
You should see a form show with a list view with the titles could “Name, IP” exc...
Well you need to click the start server quarantine for it to listen for the remote computers that are on LAN’s. 
Once you see a computer in the list just double click it to connect. Read the “How LAN quarantine works” text file to learn more about it and how it works.


For modem, merely type the remote computers IP into the IP box and connect as normal.

You will see something on the bottom panel saying that you are connected and it should say something in the client memo…

Ok so your IP is changing every time you are connecting to the internet, and you are losing your ability to connect to the remote computer. There is an option in the general section of the edit server called dynamic IP settings. Well, if you are having the problem of changing IP’s then you will need to use this option, it works very easily.

1) Click the “!” to make a file which will have your IP in it. You will need to specify a webpage where the server will look for it- therefore; you need to upload your new IP to this webpage every time you connect. 

2) The server will auto download the file every time the computer restarts and goes online.
So just connect to the server just like I mentioned before.
