follows.
1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2. Select
Ethernet
from the
Connect via
pop-up menu.
3. Select
Using DHCP Server
from the
Configure
pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left

your
DNS
settings are correct.
Linux Clients
To access the Internet via The Load Balancer, it is only necessary to set The Load Balancer as the
"Gateway", and ensure your
Name Server
settings are correct.
Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.
