3. Check with your network administrator to be sure this is properly config-
ured or use the setting shown below.
To act as a DHCP Client
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically, as shown above. If you have
enabled the Instant GigaDrive to act as a DHCP Server, it will now provide IP
Addresses (and related data) to your PC when it boots.
To use "Specify an IP address" (fixed IP Address)
• If your PC is already configured, no changes are required.
• If you just installed TCP/IP, you need to enter:
IP Address and Subnet mask (on the IP Address tab, as shown above)
Default Gateway Address (on the Gateway tab).
These values must be compatible with other devices on your LAN. Each PC
requires a unique IP Address (usually only the last field is different on each
PC). The Subnet Mask, however, should be the same for each PC on your net-
work.
N N o o t t e e : : The Gateway is the IP Address of your router or Internet gateway. If you
don't have a router or Internet gateway, the address should be left at 0.0.0.0. If
you have a Router on your LAN, ask your LAN Administrator what values to use.

EtherFast 10/100 Instant GigaDrive
Network Logon for Windows 2000
To access the Instant GigaDrive, you must correctly log on to the network.
1. Check your Windows logon using Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Network. Ensure that the Primary Network Logon is set to Client for
Microsoft Networks, as shown below. If this is already set, there is no
need to make a change.
2. After your PC boots, Windows will prompt you to logon to the network.
You must logon. If you press ESC, or click Cancel, network resources
will not be available. When you logon, you will need to use a valid User
Name and Password.
• If the Instant GigaDrive Administrator has defined users on the
GigaDrive, use the User Name and password supplied there.
• If you use a User Name and password which is not recognized by the
Instant GigaDrive, you can still use it with guest access rights. By
default, this allows read/write access to the public share, and allows
you to use the printer.
