Appendix A
Setting up Your Computer’s IP
Address
All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all
versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use
TCP/IP on your computer. Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP
application package.
TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP,
Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.
After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in
order to "communicate" with your network.
If you manually assign IP information instead of using dynamic assignment, make sure
that your computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as the Prestige's
LAN port.
Windows 95/98/Me
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel and
double-click the Network icon to open the
Network window.
Installing Components
The Network window Configuration tab displays a list of installed components. You
need a network adapter, the TCP/IP protocol and Client for Microsoft Networks.
