This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is
Auto

Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the
Boot Method
to

from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the
