Chapter 3 Wizard Setup 59
Figure 9 Internet Access Wizard Setup: First Screen
The following table describes the fields in this screen.
3.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a
LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or
your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their
instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
