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 the DHCP server
assigns, 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 the DHCP server assigns.
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 the DHCP server assigns. Contact your network
administrator to obtain a valid name.
•
Keep the existing hostname. Use this option to keep the
previously assigned hostname. If you select this option, contact
your network administrator to change the DNS entry.
