NBG5715 User’s Guide 205
APPENDIX D
Setting Up Your Computer’s IP Address
Note: Your specific NBG5715 may not support all of the operating systems described in
this appendix. See the product specifications for more information about which
operating systems are supported.
This appendix shows you how to configure the IP settings on your computer in order for it to be
able to communicate with the other devices on your network. Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS 9/
OS X, and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to use TCP/IP on
your computer.
If you manually assign IP information instead of using a dynamic IP, make sure that your network’s
computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet.
In this appendix, you can set up an IP address for:
• Windows XP/NT/2000 on page 206
• Windows Vista on page 209
• Windows 7 on page 213
• Mac OS X: 10.3 and 10.4 on page 217
