Troubleshooting Tips
The following answer common questions that arise when managing your equipment. For
more details, refer to the <Italic>User Guide. The applicability of the following will depend on
what drivers and other add-ons you have installed with MS200 NETGEAR® ProSafe®
Network Management Software.
The following sections discuss some troubleshooting techniques. See the NMS200 User
Guide for additional techniques.
Name Resolution
If your network does not have DNS, you can also assign hostnames on a Windows platform
n the file
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts . Here, you must assign a hostname in
addition to an IP address in the system. Here are some example hosts file contents
(including two commented lines where you would have to remove the # sign to make them
effective):
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
This software supports installation to only the local file system. Avoid installing to shared
drives.
