In the past, I was a network admin. I played with Windows Server flavours, Linux, mail server (mdaemon, exchange), proxy (wingate, winroute, ISA Server, Smoothwall). The culmination point of my admin career is my first commercial book, that has been published by ElexMedia. It talked about detail configuration and management of Mdaemon mail server. I created Indoadmin.Net, a small community portal and official support of my book.

But the destiny is coming. I’m not network guy anymore. I love to be a developer and database person. I do not have enough time to update Indoadmin.Net anymore. I should decide, with a broken heart, that Indoadmin.Net is dead.

I make it. So I move this site from separate domain to my personal site subdomain. It is http://netadmin.choirulamri.org now. Anybody who buy my book still able to access any tips and tutorial in this site. But I can not promise to update it in regular manner.

Every questions about networking stuff should be posted at ilmukomputer-networking@yahoogroups.com. See you there . Please do not ask about detail technical question in my private email. I receive hundreds of email in a day, so If do not reply to a mail, it does not mean I ignore them. Please ask the question to mailing lists, that’s better.

I receive many questions regarding how to publish mail server to internet. We can simply put public IP on mail server, but it is not secure and waste the IP. The most elegant way is publish it behind firewall and set up port mapping on firewall.
I have wrote this tutorial here.

In order to served Indonesian networking & mail server community, I have established Indoadmin.Net Forum.
I receive so many feedbacks and questions about my book on Mdaemon Mail Server. Asking question with email one by one is a difficult task, because of repeat questions of another.
I hope this web forum can resolved the problem, and my audience can search the solution by itself. Visit the forum here.

If you want to buy cheap dedicated server with reliable datacenter, choose low end servers from Hiyacorp.Com. This company is a Nocster reseller, so can offer cheaper price than Nocster itself. This because of its bulk deal with Nocster. You can buy from them start from $47/month

If you manage Windows network and still
have many non Windows 2000 machines, don’t forget to install a WINS server in
your network. I find this server is very usefull for browsing in Network
Neighboorhood.
