Configuring TCP/IP On Your Windows Workstations
Since TCP/IP is used as the data transfer protocol, IP addresses and netmasks must be
assigned to your Windows workstation(s) if you haven’t already done so.
If you are not familiar with IP addresses and are sure that this network will not go
onto the Internet, the following are some sample settings to use:
IP Address Netmask
Host 1 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
M208 192.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
Host 2 192.1.1.3 255.255.255.0
and so on...
The following sections will detail how you configure TCP/IP settings on the different
Windows platforms.
