Important:
Set the IP Address
using ARP/Ping in
Windows 95/98/NT/
2000/XP
Start out with making sure that the IP address is available for use.
The IP address 192.168.3.191 is used here as an example:
• Ping the IP address by opening a Command Prompt and writing:
If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ...
or a similar message, the IP address is already taken.
You can obtain a new and unused IP address from your system
administrator.
• Check that the IP address you want to use is not already taken
and stored in the host’s cache memory. Open a Command Prompt
and write:
If the host lists the IP Address followed by the Physical Address,
then the IP address is in use.
You can remove the entry from the cache memory with the
command:
