Please note that when using the default IP address as in the

above example, the first three numbers in the IP address must

always be the same with only the fourth number changing. This is

because the first three numbers define the network IP address (all

machines must belong to the same IP network), while the last

number denotes the host IP address (each computer must have a

unique address to distinguish it on the network). Also note that

the subnet mask is the same for all machines and the default

gateway address is the Local LAN IP address of the internet

server.

The second way to use the default settings is to allow the internet

server to automatically assign IP addresses to your computers

using DHCP. To do this, simply make sure your computers' IP

addresses are set to 0.0.0.0 (under Windows, choose the option

'Obtain an IP address automatically' in the TCP/IP network com-

ponent described above). When your computer is restarted, it will

automatically be given a valid IP address, subnet mask and gate-

way address by the internet server. For this option to work, the

internet server's DHCP feature must be enabled, which it is by

default.
