4.2 Connection Wizard: STEP 1: System Information

System Information contains administrative and system-related information.

4.2.1 System Name

System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you
should enter your computer's "Computer Name".
• In Windows 95/98 click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network. Click the Identification
tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.
• In Windows 2000, click Start > Settings and Control Panel and then double-click System.
Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the
Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.
• In Windows XP, click Start > My Computer > View system information and then click the
Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the NBG-
417N System Name.

4.2.2 Domain Name

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this
blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host
name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the
NBG-417N via DHCP.
