Abstract:
A system and method are provided for integrating a proxy server, an e-mail server, and a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, with a graphic interface. The system and method also can be practiced so that a DNS server is supported or integrated therewith. Also provided are subsystems of the system, such as a subsystem adapted to provide e-mail searching via a graphic user interface, a subsystem adapted to provide internet access monitoring via a graphic interface, a subsystem adapted to provide internet access control via a graphic interface, and/or a subsystem adapted to configure a DHCP server via a graphic user interface. Also provided are a method of searching e-mail, a method of providing internet access monitoring and/or control, and/or a method of configuring a DHCP server via a graphic user interface. The internet monitoring can be based on IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server or can be based on a text string of interest. The subsystems and submethods can be selectively combined to meet a network managers needs.
