2.4. Configuring the LaCie Net-

work Space on a Network

Without a DHCP Server

Most home networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning the router assigns an IP address to all devices on the network to allow devices to find each other. If your network does not have DHCP server, you may need to manually assign your LaCie Net- work Space an IP address and other network information.
