Network . Select the 'TCP/IP' entry for
your network adapter and open Properties .
You can now enter the desired values by selecting the various tabs.
The assignment of IP addresses to the various computers can be checked using the
'Setup/DHCP/Table-DHCP' item in the router's DHCP module. This table contains the
assigned IP address, the MAC address, the validity, the name of the computer (if
available) and the type of address assignment.
The 'Type' field specifies how the address was assigned. This field can assume the
following values:
K
new
The computer has made its initial request. The DHCP server verifies the uniqueness
of the address that is to be assigned to the computer.
K
unknown
While verifying uniqueness, it was determined that the address has already been
assigned to another computer. Unfortunately, the DHCP server has no means of
obtaining additional information on this computer.
K
status
A computer has informed the DHCP server that it has a fixed IP address. This
address can no longer be used.
K
dynamic
The DHCP server assigned an address to the computer.
DNS
The domain name service (DNS) in TCP/IP networks provides the association between
computer names or network names (domains) and IP addresses. This service is required
for Internet communications, to return the correct IP address for a request such as
'www.elsa.de' for example. However, it's also useful to be able to clearly associate
IP addresses to computer names within a local network or in a LAN interconnection.
What does a DNS server do?
The names used in DNS server requests are made up of several parts: one part consisting
of the actual name of the host or service to be addressed; another section specifies the
domain. Specifying the domain is optional within a local network. These names could
thus be 'www.domain.com' or 'ftp.domain.com', for example.
