264 Tips for Administrator
If you press Ctrl-C, you may see something like this:
192:168:100:101 PING Statistics
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received,
100% packet loss
Again, the exact wording of the message you see may differ
from this, depending on your operating system. If you cannot
“ping” the computer, check the following:
❏The address in the ping command is correct.
❏The Ethernet connection to the computer has been made
correctly, and all hubs, routers, etc. are switched on.
Setting and checking the new IP address
To set the new IP address of the print server which you have
obtained from your network administrator, use the ping
command and arp command with the -s flag (create an ARP
entry).
Note:
In the following procedure, we assume that the MAC address of your
print server is 00:00:48:93:00:00 (hexadecimal), and that the IP address
which you will be assigning is 192.168.100.201 (decimal). Substitute
your values for these addresses when you type in the commands.
1. From the command line, type:
Example: arp -s 192.168.100.201 00-00-48-93-00-00
2. Execute the ping command to set the IP address by pinging it:
Example: ping 192.168.100.201
3. The print server should now respond to the ping. If it does
not, you may have incorrectly typed the MAC address or the
IP address in the arp -s command. Double-check and try
again. If none of these actions are effective, re-initialize the
print server and try again.
