InterfaceThe two edit fields contain the NIC's IP address and subnet mask.
The check boxes enable the RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, DNS, and

BOOTP, and DHCP. However, if your network requires one of
these, you should clear the IP address (and possibly the subnet
mask) fields and ensure that the appropriate check box is select ed.
