NT/MPRI – 2 Installation and First Steps 20
TCP/IP Settings
If you use TCP/IP in the local network, each workstation, including the
computer on which the NT/MPRI is to be installed, requires an unam-
biguous IP address. It is important that the NT/MPRI computer receive
a static IP address, even if the rest of the network receives addresses
assigned by DHCP.
In Windows XP an IP address must be entered manually as a standard
gateway in the properties of the TCP/IP protocol under “Start / Network
Connections”. This IP address must differ from the IP address of the
computer. In our example, the IP address 192.168.1.1 is a possible val-
ue (see the figure below).
In Windows 2000 an IP address must be entered manually as a stan-
dard gateway in the properties of the TCP/IP protocol under “Start /
Settings / Network and Dial-up Connections”. This IP address must dif-
fer from the IP address of the computer. In our example, the IP address
192.168.1.1 is a possible value (see the figure below).
