You can also use ping to determine the hostname, the IP address of a system, and if a given IP address is already in use. If you are in doubt, be sure to coordinate IP address allocation with your network administrator.
IMPORTANT: Do not inadvertently use the IP address of the name server. Your network might stop functioning; results are unpredictable.
Subnet Mask: text box
This field sets the subnet mask for the client system. The subnet mask is typically provided by your network administrator, and is in the form of an IP address or a corresponding hex number. For example:
255.255.248.0 or 0xfffff800
or
255.255.255.0 or 0xffffff00
Time, Day, Month, and Year: text boxes
The time and day that is displayed for the client is dependent on the installation method. If you are installing from the server, the time is synchronized with the server; if you are installing from the client, it is set using the client’s hardware clock. If necessary, enter information for the Time, Day, and Year fields: For time, use the 24 hour format: hh:mm.
Select the correct month by clicking the adjacent list button, and then selecting from the list. Edit other fields by using the Backspace and Delete keys.
The time you set is automatically adjusted if you select a different time zone using the Set Time Zone... button described below.
Set Time Zone button
Click this button to display the time zone selections, as illustrated in Figure 71. Use the General Locations list button to select the client’s location, and then select the time zone. Click OK to set the value. The time and date on the System tab are adjusted to reflect the new time zone, and the TZ environment variable is set.
