NOTE: The Kick-Start utility Ethernet 0 matches Windows Local Area Connection, and Ethernet 1 matches Local Area Connection 2.

•Ethernet Port 0 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system closest to the outside edge of the system. You can optionally enter the IP address information for this port. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway IP address. Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — If you do not complete this field, the system will use DHCP to try to obtain an IP address.)

•Ethernet Port 1 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system farthest from the outside edge of the system. You can optionally enter the IP address information for this port. Enter the IP address and subnet mask. The gateway IP address is optional. Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — If you do not fill in this field, the system will use DHCP to try to obtain an IP address.)

•DNS IP Addresses — You can optionally enter one or two DNS IP addresses. Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP address.

•Host/Machine Name and Domain — The host/machine name is required. It is composed of a base host name and a DNS Domain name. Domain indicates a DNS domain (for example, dell.com) and does not indicate a Windows domain. The domain name is optional.

•Administrator Password — This field is required. You must enter the administrator password twice, and it must be at least six characters long. For security purposes, the password does not appear on the screen, but each character of the password shows an asterisk (*) placeholder.

(*). Passwords of less than six characters will not be accepted.
