To assign the IP address in Windows 95, 98, or NT by using the arp
command, first access the DOS prompt window.
Due to a Windows95 TCP/IP issue, a Windows95 workstation
needs an existing entry in its ARP cache table. You can check to
see if there are any entries by executing a ping command to a
valid address on your network, such as your default gateway.
Then perform the arp and ping commands shown below.
The <LAN-address> can be found on the LAN Address label on
the tower (top) or server; each pair of digits must be separated
by a hyphen.
arp -s <IP-address> <LAN-address>
ping <IP-address>
Example:
arp -s 192.124.138.80 00-60-b0-11-00-86
ping 192.124.138.80
The host returns "Request Timed Out" messages and "Reply
from 192.124.138.80...", indicating that the address has been
set and that communication with the server is established.
When you execute the ping command for the first time, the
response time may be longer than usual. The ping command
enables the server to assign itself the address.
You may set (and change) the IP address using this method only
in the approximately one-half hour immediately following
startup in the factory-default state. This inhibits accidental or
unauthorized IP address changes after this period.
Restart the server (cycle its power).
