19.1.2 What You Need to Know About System Settings

DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a method of allocating IP addresses to
devices on a network from a DHCP Server. Often your ISP or a router on your network
performs this function.
LAN
A LAN (local area network) is typically a network which covers a small area, made up of
computers and other devices which share resources such as Internet access, printers etc.

19.2 The General Screen

Use this screen to configure system settings such as the system and domain name, inactivity
timeout interval and system password.
The System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this
name you should enter your computer's "Computer Name". Find the system name of your
Windows computer by following one of the steps below.
• In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification
tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.
• In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click System.
Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for
the Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.
