The pages and options available depend on the settings you have chosen. Ask your system administrator for the correct values.
IP configuration page
Note that the two protocols (IPv4 and IPv6) require slightly different settings.
•
Auto retrieve IP
— If you select
Yes
, the IP address is obtained automatically from the server. This setting is sometimes also
called dynamic IP address. If you select
No
, you must specify the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the fields
below.
•
Auto retrieve DNS
— If you select
Yes
for the IPv4 protocol, or
DHCP
for the IPv6 protocol, the primary and secondary DNS
(domain name server) addresses are obtained automatically from the server. DNS is an Internet service that translates domain
names such as www.nokia.com into IPv4 addresses such as 192.100.124.195, or IPv6 addresses like 3ffe:
2650:a640:1c2:341:c39:14. If you select
No
for the IPv4 protocol, or
Manual
for the IPv6 protocol, you must specify the IP
addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers.
