2.4. Configuring the LaCie 2big
Network on a Network Without
a DHCP Server
Most home networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning the
router assigns an IP address to all devices on the network to allow
devices to find each other. If your network does not have DHCP

an IP address and other network information.
The easiest way to modify your LaCie 2big Network's network con-
figuration is to use the LaCie Network Assistant. See section
