Resolving a Hostname Verification Error
3. The utility gives you four options for resolving the verification
error. Select the one that best fits your situation and click OK .
Change the device's hostname to match the DNS entry.
Use this option if you want to accept the hostname the
DHCP server assigns, or if you cannot contact the network
administrator to change the DNS entry.
Use static network parameters instead of DHCP. Use
this option if you cannot use the hostname the DHCP
server assigns. Contact your network administrator to
obtain a valid IP address, subnet, and gateway. This option
disables DHCP on the device.
Edit the current hostname. Use this option to change the
hostname to a name other than either the configured
hostname or the name the DHCP server assigns. Contact
your network administrator to obtain a valid name.
