 Unload and reload the PORTAL or HTTPSTK NLM programs.
After you have made changes to the server that require the
PORTAL.NLM or HTTPSTK.NLM to be restarted, or after you have
loaded a newer version of these NLM programs on the server, click the
applicable Restart button to unload and reload the module. A message
appears asking if you are sure you want to restart the module, which
temporarily disables this utility. While the reset is taking place, a page
appears stating that the reset is taking place. When the reset is complete,
the page refreshes to the Configuration page with the changed settings if
you haven't changed the port settings.
IMPORTANT: If you have changed the port settings, remember to use the new
numbers when accessing NetWare Remote Manager.
 Access the Mail Notification Control page.
From this page you can specify a primary mail server, an alternate mail
server, up to eight users in the notification list, and a Mail From
identification. You can control which items to be notified about on the
Health Monitor page.
 Access the IP Address Access Control page.
From this page you can limit access to NetWare Remote Manger. You can
specify IP addresses for workstations or specify a subnet and subnet mask
for ranges of workstations that you want to give access from. Restricting
access to specific IP addresses or specific subnets can assist you in
securing remote access to your server from NetWare Remote Manager.
For example, if you have static IP addresses (which you could easily
assign to the administrator's workstation), use the Allow Access Only
from the Following IP Addresses option to control administration access.
Only those workstations with a matching IP address can access NetWare
Remote Manager.
If you want a little more flexibility in your IP address assignments, such
as all IP addresses within a subnet mask range, use the Allow Access
Only from the Following IP Subnets option. With this setting, the IP
subnet mask and the IP address are compared with a logical AND
statement. If the IP address matches the subnet specified, you can access
NetWare Remote Manager; if the IP address does not match the subnet,
you won't have access.
This approach works well if you are using DHCP to dynamically allocate
IP addresses. In this scenario, you might not get the same address every
time you call for an IP address. But because the allocated IP address will
