Configuring Your PC for LAN Operation
This section shows steps to configure your PC, as required, for
operation on a private LAN or for operation on site LANs that do not
support DHCP, including:
• Checking PC Settings
• Installing Network Interface Cards
• Installing TCP/IP on Your PC
• Setting PC IP Address
• Setting PC Hostname
Checking PC Settings
To check the current settings for your PC, type ipconfig /all from the
Command Prompt.
The figure below shows a typical display for a
Windows Vista PC. The display for other operating systems may be
different. If the settings are correct for your LAN operation, do not do
any of the steps in this section. If the settings need to be changed, go to
Installing Network Interface Cards.
NOTE
If your PC is part of an existing private LAN or site LAN, you probably
do not need to do the steps in this section. If local policies require it,
contact your System Administrator before changing PC settings.
