3. The utility gives you four options for resolving the verification error.
Select the one that best fits your situation and click OK.
• Change the device's hostname to match the DNS entry. Use
this option if you want to accept the hostname assigned by the
DHCP server, or if you cannot contact the network administrator
to change the DNS entry.
• Use static network parameters instead of DHCP. Use this
option if you cannot use the hostname assigned by the DHCP
server. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP
address, subnet, and gateway. This option disables DHCP on the
device.
• Edit the current hostname. Use this option to change the
hostname to a name other than either the configured hostname or
the name assigned by the DHCP server. Contact your network
administrator to obtain a valid name.
