Assigning the IP
Address
You must now assign the IP address to the XNIC.
1
Open an OS/2 command prompt window.

At the command prompt, enter:
[C:\] arp -s HOSTNAME Hardware_address
where Hardware_address is the XNIC hardware address in
hexadecimal notation.
Do not use leading zeroes in the IP address on the
XNIC hardware address.
For example, if you have a HOSTNAME of Coletrane and a
hardware address of 00:00:c9:10:03:BD
you would enter:
[C:\] arp -s Coletrane 0:0:C9:10:3:BD

Check to see if your IP address has been correctly entered by
typing:
[C:\] arp -a
This will display the hardware address and the IP address. For
example:
Interface Hardware address IP address Minutes since
last use
