      Enter the name of the new Domino server where you will add Domino. For example, specify STDOM1.

      Select Web Browsers (HTTP services). Domino requires that you use the Domino HTTP server.

      Deselect Directory Services (LDAP services). Even if you plan to use an LDAP directory, you should not run it on the same server where you run Domino.

    • Domino Network Settings

      Click Customize to view the Advanced Network Settings.

      Click the check box associated with the IP address for this server. Ensure that only one check box is selected.

      You must edit the Host Name field and replace the IP address with the fully qualified Internet host name for this server.

You must press Enter for the change to take effect.

      Also, type the fully qualified host name in the field at the end of the display.
