2.5. Network Configuration

2.5. Network Configuration

If there is a network card installed in your computer, the driver installation dialog window will open . If the necessary driver is not in the list, select none. This does not mean that the network card will not work; simply, a universal driver will be installed for it. After the installation, you will be able to install the card's proper drivers to make it work at its full capacity.

The next step is configuring the network. If there is only a single Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server in your network, you can leave the default settings. If there are more servers in your network or the addresses have to be assigned manually, clear the check mark in the Configure using DHCP checkbox.

If you do not know how TCP/IP works, you can specify 192.168.77.1 as the address. The value of the Mask field must be 255.255.255.0. I will cover the network configuration subject in a greater detail in Section 3.6 , including how to change the connections parameters. In the Host name field, specify the computer's name .
