Next you need to configure your firewall to allow incoming traffic on port 80. On Windows XP or later, open the Control Panel and browse to Windows Firewall. Then go to the Exceptions list and add\u00a0TCP<\/a>\u00a0port 80.<\/p>\n If you are connecting to the Internet via a router, you must configure it to forward incoming traffic on port 80 to the IP address of the Weezo PC. This is so Weezo can work over the Internet. On your router’s Web-based configuration utility, find the virtual server or port forwarding settings.<\/p>\n When you’re ready, visit\u00a0their Web site<\/a>, download Weezo, and install it.<\/p>\n When you open Weezo for the first time, you’ll create an account and receive your own URL (such as www.weezo.net\/yourname<\/i>) where you or others can visit to log onto your resources.<\/p>\n When you bring up the Weezo application, you’ll see there are five main pages. On the\u00a0Groups\u00a0<\/i>tab you can create varying types of access you want to offer. On the\u00a0Resources<\/i>\u00a0tab, you can choose which resources you want to offer and configure their settings. The\u00a0Contacts<\/i>\u00a0page is where any people you’ve added to your contact list will be listed, along with their online\/offline status. The\u00a0Activity<\/i>\u00a0tab, of course, lets you what is and was happening, who’s connected, what’s being downloaded, and a log of system messages. The last page,\u00a0Configuration<\/i>, is where you set the main options.<\/p>\n Probably the first thing you’ll want to do is add resources, to actually see what Weezo can do. Select the\u00a0Resources\u00a0<\/i>tab and then hit the\u00a0New resource<\/i>\u00a0button in the upper left. Then choose a resource from one of the categories: File Access\/Sharing, Communication, Personal Websites, Blog, Bookmarks, and Television. Once you hit Create, it’s added to the list on the Resources page where you can configure its settings.<\/p>\n If you wish, you can configure the resource settings differently for particular users by adding the same resource again. Duplicate resources have different names, can be configured differently, and can be assigned individually to users\/groups.<\/p>\n Remember, before anyone can access or use the resource, you must assign it to a particular user or group. Select the\u00a0Groups<\/i>\u00a0tab, create a new one or modify an existing one, and move the resource over from the Available to the Assigned list.<\/p>\n To check out your site, you can always click the\u00a0Connect to site<\/i>\u00a0button on the bottom pane of the Weezo application, next to the network diagram. This will bring up the site using the localhost\u00a0IP<\/a>\u00a0address of 127.0.0.1. You can also access it from other computers on your local network using the PC’s local IP address, such as 192.168.1.100.<\/p>\n If you or others want to visit your site via the Internet, use your URL:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.weezo.net\/your_account_name<\/p>\n Figure 2\u00a0shows an example of the login page.<\/p>\n Figure 3\u00a0shows an example of what the main site page looks like (in the Classic theme).<\/p>\n If you get an error message about your account not being activated, check your e-mail or junk folder for the activation message from Weezo.<\/p>\n After you get a taste of what Weezo can do, you should review the main settings to customize your site; click the\u00a0Configuration<\/i> tab<\/p>\n In the Appearance section, you can create a login message, change the page title, choose a theme, and more.<\/p>\n If you’re accessing important documents or transferring other sensitive material, you should enable\u00a0SSL<\/a>\u00a0encryption. In the Server section, select Yes for the\u00a0Use a secure connection (SSL)<\/i>\u00a0setting. Then you’re site can be access with\u00a0https\u00a0<\/i>instead of just http in the address, for example: https:\/\/weezo.net\/your_account_name. You’ll be using a self signed certificate for the encryption, which is fine but users will receive a warning when they try to access your site.<\/p>\n Even more settings are available in the Miscellaneous section and by clicking the\u00a0Advanced Configuration<\/i>\u00a0button.<\/p>\nTaking a Look Around<\/h3>\n
