LAN Configuration
If you already have a network set up, you can change the network
settings of the SBS to fit in with your other computers. From the User
Interface, click the "SETTINGS" tab and choose "GENERAL".
Here, you can set the SBS IP
address and netmask, disable the
DHCP server, or change the
range of addresses it allocates.
We recommend, however, that
you keep the existing settings and
use the SBS as your DHCP
server. If you disable DHCP you
will have to manually set up DNS
and gateway addresses of your
network to match the IP address
of the SBS.
The SBS uses DHCP to allocate network addresses (IP numbers) to
computers on your network, and to tell them which route to use to
access the internet. If your computer has been connected to a DHCP
server in the past, you might need to prompt it to now use the SBS or
to "renew its DHCP lease". This is best performed by rebooting the
4. SBS Functions
Warning:
If
you
deselect
change the IP address of the
SBS please ensure that you keep
a permanent note of the new IP
address. If the new IP address is
lost or forgotten you will not be
able to access the SBS for
configuration
purposes.
