7-1 Assigning IP Addresses Using ARP (For Windows)
Repeat step 5 until a response is returned. IP address assignment is
complete when a response is returned.
Note
• ARP can be used to assign an IP address only. Other IP parameters
must be set using Telnet or a Web browser. For details, see Chapter 10
- Using Telnet to Make Settings and Chapter 9 - Using a Web Browser
to Make Settings.
• There are problems with the ARP command in earlier versions of Win-
dows 95, so the command may not function properly if the ARP entry
is blank. To check for and prevent such problems, enter the following at
the MS-DOS prompt.
arp -a
If the ARP entry is blank, ping another valid device on the network
as shown below.
ping <valid IP address for device other than
the Network Card>
Next, perform the above procedure starting from step 2.
