Obtain your TCI/IP configuration via DHCP
Once the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, you need to add certain information on each
computer to ensure that other network devices can be accessed. The Network Drive Pro
is preconfigured to automatically forward this information to all computers connected
to its LAN ports. The computers can obtain this information from Network Drive Pro's
internal DHCP server. To use DHCP with the recommended default addresses, please
follow the instructions step by step:
1. Start the Network Drive Pro and wait until it boots. The LED ring lights up once the
boot process is complete. (This may take up to 30 seconds.) Connect all computers
to the LAN port on the Network Drive Pro.
2. Open the Network Control Panel on each of the attached computers and go to the
'Configuration' tab.
3. Select TCT/IP->(your Ethernet adapter) from the list of network components and click
'Properties'.
4. Go to 'Obtain an IP address automatically' on the IP Address tab.
5. Open the 'Gateway' tab.
6. If any Gateways are listed, delete them.
7. Click 'OK'.
8. Restart your computer. Repeat steps 2 - 8 on each computer in your network.
