ICY BOX Mediaserver User Guide 68
DNS server 2
The DNS server 2 box sets the secondary domain name server. This is obtained
automatically from your router's DHCP configuration, and is provided by your ISP.
Server IP address
The Server IP address box sets the static IP address for the ICY BOX Mediaserver.
Obtain the static IP address from your ISP (Internet service provider), and use it to
replace the dynamic IP address that appears in the box by default. The Server IP
address box only appears if Obtain IP address automatically is set to No.
Server netmask
The Server netmask box sets the subnet mask. Choices are:
 /32 (255.255.255.255)
 netmask.24 (255.255.255.0)
 /16 (255.255.0.0)
 /8 (255.0.0.0)
The subnet mask determines the address range of the subnet. Data to addresses within
the subnet (e.g. between your computer and the ICY BOX Mediaserver) are routed within
the network. Data to addresses outside the subnet (e.g. between a remote user and the
ICY BOX Mediaserver) are routed to the Internet. Most home networks with less than
255 nodes use netmask.24. The Server netmask box only appears if Obtain IP address
automatically is set to No.
Gateway
The Gateway box sets the IP address of the device that routes data from the ICY BOX
Mediaserver to the Internet (i.e. the router). The Gateway box only appears if Obtain IP
address automatically is set to No.
