Host Name - Visual Circuits Firefly User Manual

Remote Control
and Dial-up Connections calculates the number of addresses that
can be used within the starting and ending addresses of the range. If
the incoming connections computer is attached to another network,
and the specified address range consists of a subset of IP addresses
for the network to which the computer is attached, you must ensure
that the addresses in the range are not already assigned to other
TCP/IP nodes within the attached network. This is recommended
because using a subset of the larger network addresses requires less
manual configuration of the intranet nodes.
If you must use a range of addresses that is not a subset of the net-
work to which the incoming connections computer is attached, then
steps must be taken to ensure that computers on the network
attached to the incoming connections computer can reach the
incoming connection clients. To do this, you can create a route to
the incoming client computers on the intranet computers by config-
uring your intranet hosts with the IP address of the incoming con-
nections computer as a default gateway.
If your intranet hosts are configured to obtain an IP address
automatically and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server is present, you can configure your DHCP
server to assign the default gateway.
If your intranet hosts are configured to obtain an IP address
automatically and a DHCP server is not present (you are
using the Automatic Private IP Addressing feature of
Windows 2000 and Windows 98), then you must manually
configure all of your intranet hosts with an IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway. See your Network
Administrator for further information.
