4.1 LAN
Configuration
If you already have a network set up, you can change the network
settings of the SBS to fit in with your other computers. From the User
Interface, click the “SETTINGS” tab and choose “GENERAL” then
click on “Network”.
Here, you can set the SBS IP
address and netmask, disable the
DHCP server, or change the
range of addresses it allocates.
When changing any setting
please ensure you click on the
“Apply” button to make the
change.
We recommend that you keep the
existing network settings and use
the SBS as your DHCP server. If you disable DHCP you must
manually set up DNS and gateway addresses of your network to
match the IP address of the SBS.
Warning
:
If you deselect DHCP and
change the IP address of the
SBS please ensure that you keep
a permanent note of the new IP
address. If the new IP address is
lost or forgotten you will not be
able to access the SBS for
configuration or service
purposes.
The SBS defaults to using DHCP to allocate network addresses (IP
numbers) to computers on your network, and to tell them which route
to use to access the internet. If your computer has been connected to
a DHCP server in the past, you might need to prompt it to now use
