Network
The advantage of this is that if data from a local network configured in this
way comes in contact with the Internet, none of the data on the computers
in the local network can leak out or be accessed externally.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask. Configuring subnetworks makes it possible to
connect many totally different networks located in totally different areas
because each subnetwork receives its own address and can therefore be
addressed by the router. A subnetwork is created when the IP address is
linked with a subnet mask. If a bit in the subnet mask is set, the corres-
ponding bit in the IP address is considered a part of the network address. If
a bit is not set in the subnet mask, the corresponding bit in the IP address is
used as a part of the PC address. The value of the subnet mask, as with IP
addresses, is often given in decimal form (for example, 255.255.255.0 for
IPv4 addresses).
Gateway
Enter the gateway. A gateway is a PC or router that acts as an intermediary
between two different networks. The Internet service provider is the gateway
for direct Internet dial-up connections. If you use a router, this is the gateway
in a local network.
DNS server 1
Enter the DNS server. DNS (Domain Name Service) is needed to translate
Internet addresses. The name of a computer on the Internet (for example,
) is assigned to the corresponding IP address. This
service is provided by DNS servers at the various Internet service providers
or by upper domain servers.
DNS server 2
