Zero is the most conventional number to use in this field
for home networking. The fourth box can also be anything
you like, but it must be different from every other
computer. The convention is to number your computers
sequentially, i.e., number your main PC "1" and your next
PC "2", etc. If you are performing this installation on an
additional PC, be sure that the last field is different from
any other computers connected to your network. In the
"Subnet mask:" field, enter "255.255.255.0". Once you
have entered the values, click "OK". Leave "Default
Gateway" and "DNS" areas blank.
4. Return to the Windows 2000 desktop and right-click on
"My Computer". Select "Properties" and select the
"Network Identification" tab. Click on the
"Properties" button.
