Note

Do not use the numbers as seen in this sample configuration. These values will not work for

your own network configuration. If you are not sure what values to enter, contact your network

administrator for assistance.

If you have a hostname (fully qualified domain name) for the network device, you can choose to have

DHCP (D ynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically detect it or you can manually enter the

hostname in the field provided.

Finally, if you entered the IP and Netmask information manually, you may also enter the Gateway

address and the Primary and Secondary DNS addresses.

Note

Even if your computer is not part of a network, you can enter a hostname for your system. If

you do not take this opportunity to enter a name, your system will be known as localhost.
