The two edit fields contain the NIC's IP address and subnet mask. The check boxes enable the RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, DNS, and Persistent DHCP protocols, which are alternate methods of assigning IP addresses. On most networks, you want to enter a permanent IP address and subnet mask and disable RARP, 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 selected.
