Address assignment by DHCP -Recommended configuration - (Default setting) Configuration examples
Note
Please keep in mind that any changes made to the Windows network settings may have serious effects on the LAN
clients (PCs). Other methods of connection or applications may also be affected by these changes. In the event that
your network settings have already been changed contact your system administrator. You may have to backup all of
your data. The configuration presented in the following represents only one of many possibilities. These settings
are recommended. However, depending on the infrastructure of your environment, it may be meaningful to choose
a different configuration.
Example Windows 98SE and Windows ME:
·
Open the Control Panel from the Windows Start Menu.
·
Open the »Network« folder
·
Select »TCP/IP« and click »Properties«.
·
Now select whether the PC is to receive its address automatically from a DHCP server, or if it is to be assig-
ned as permanent IP address. Edit or supplement the settings for network mask, gateway and DNS server as
appropriate. Refer to the parameters that are to be set in the sample configuration with mixed address as-
signment, or in the sample configuration with set address assignment on the following pages.
·
Confirm your settings by clicking OK.
Example Windows 2000 and Windows XP:
·
Open the Control Panel from the Windows Start Menu.
·
Under Windows 2000 open the folder »Network and Dial-up Connections«.
·
Under Windows XP open the folder »Network connections«.
·
Right-click on »LAN connection« and then click on »Properties«.
·
Select »TCP/IP« and click »Properties«.
·
Now select whether the PC is to receive its address automatically (from a DHCP server), or if it is to be assig-
ned as set (permanent) IP address. Edit or supplement the settings for network mask, gateway and DNS
server as appropriate. Refer to the parameters that are to be set in the sample configuration with mixed ad-
dress assignment, or in the sample configuration with set address assignment on the following pages.
·
Confirm your settings by clicking OK.
Note
Also follow the instructions given in the documentation and the Help function of your operating system.
Note
A further option available is assigning a portion of the IP addresses manually and having the remaining addresses
allocated by DHCP. Ensure that the IP address for the router and any manually assigned IP addresses are not located
in the range for available DHCP addresses.
