Dear All,

I have a query regarding NOWSMS. I have NOWSMS application installed in a computer with Windwos 2000 server as an operating system. All these days I was contacting the NOWSMS with the Website developed in PHP. This is fairly easy and I could do this through the valuable suggestions from you.

But the situation arose in a strange way. My colleagues using this website due to the access of the internet are surfing more than working. Hence I decided to develop a way to use the NOWSMS without internet. I need help from you regarding this matter. One important thing I want to mention is that We are in the same network.

I see that there is Web Interface provided with NOWSMS. IS there a way that other computers in the same network can access this web interface with out internet and still send SMS message with the specific USER NAME.
How should I go about this process? or Do you have any other language program that can access NOWSMS ServerConnected to internet.

Please help me with this.

Thank you in advance,

Kind Regards,
Vamsee Vanaparthy }

Hi,

This is more of a TCP/IP type of issue than a NowSMS issue.

Even though you are using a web browser to connect to NowSMS, there is no reason that the users with a web browser need to have full internet access. They only need TCP/IP connectivity to the PC that is running NowSMS (or the web site that you are using as the in-between).

There is no reason that the end-users could not just be on a private IP network that has access to the web site only (unless the web site is not local to the users and they need to connect over the internet to it ... in that case, you would probably need a firewall to restrict their access).

You can actually develop application using any of the supported protocols namely, SMPP,SMTP and http without neccessarily browsing. For example, A mail client like outlook or outlook express can be configured or a custom application using either the SMTP, SMPP or both. HTTP protocol is equally possible directly from applications with browsing.
