Click on the radio button to Obtain an IP address automatically, as shown
above. If the DHCP Server in the Disk Server has been enabled, it will now pro-
vide an IP Address and related data to your PC when it boots.
Restart your PC. (DHCP only functions when your PC starts.)
If your PC is already configured, no changes are required.
If you just installed TCP/IP, you need to enter:
IP Address and Subnet mask (on the IP Address tab, as shown above).
Default Gateway Address (on the Gateway tab)
These values need to be compatible with other devices on your LAN. Each
PC requires a unique IP Address (usually only the last field is different), and
the same Subnet Mask . The IP Address range commonly used is 192.168.0.1
to 192.168.0.254, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
The Gateway is the IP Address of your Router or Internet Gateway. If you
don't have either of those, the address should be left at 0.0.0.0.
If you have made any changes, Restart your PC.
