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 address (each host must have a unique number). 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 component described
above. When your computer is restarted, it will automatically be
given a valid IP address, subnet mask and gateway address by the
internet server. For this option to work, the internet server’s DHCP
feature must be enabled, which it is by default.
