Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know the
computer’s network configuration information. If the computer’s network
configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless network setting should also be
DHCP. Likewise, if the computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the
wireless network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use the Static wireless
network setting, you must contact the network administrator to get the
static IP address.
•
For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if DHCP is shown in
the
Wireless Network Setting Confirm
window. If it shows Static, click
Change TCP/IP

•
For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if Static is shown in
the
Wireless Network Setting Confirm
window. If it shows DHCP, click
Change TCP/IP
to enter the IP address and other network configuration
values for the machine.
For example,
If the computer’s network information is as shown follows:
-
IP address: 169.254.133.42
-
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as below:
-
IP address: 169.254.133.
