can communicate on the network with other I P/TV components.

reconfigure your server to use static IP addresses appropriate for you r site
and subnet.
Step 3 Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
Step 4 Click the Use the following IP address radio button and then enter the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway.

information for the preferred and alternate DNS servers and click OK.
•If you are not using DNS, populate the C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
