The OpenCom 130 in a serverless LAN
In a peer-to-peer network, the work-
stations are connected to one an-
other via network cables. In many
networks, the cables run in the form
192.168.99.254
192.168.99.129 to 192.168.99.148
192.168.100.0 to 192.168.100.10
255.255.255.0
192.168.99.254
192.168.99.254
Install the TCP/IP network protocol
and a Web browser for every work-
station which is to have access to the
OpenCom 130 network features.
For notes on installing network
cards, refer to Connection by Network
Card (LAN) on page 54.

of a star from a central hub. Such
networks do not require special
servers. This configuration example
is also valid for a LAN with a server
using a protocol other than TCP/IP
(e.g. AppleTalk or IPX/SPX).
In a serverless LAN, the
OpenCom 130 takes over the IP
configuration of the connected
workstations. All TCP/IP settings
necessary for the workstations are
assigned by the OpenCom 130 via
DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol). In this operating mode, an
IP address space reserved for such
networks is used:

DNS Name Resolution

In a serverless LAN, the internal DNS
name resolution is performed by the
OpenCom 130. If you type the string
"host.domain" into your browser, a
DNS request is sent to the
OpenCom 130 IP address. The
