	Web Browser
	Initiate the Web browser and enter the IP Address or hosts table name in the
	URL line.
	Click on “Configuration.”
	Log in as root, no password.
	Enter the values you need for subnet mask and gateway and click “Submit.”
	Delete the static arp entry: at a DOS prompt, type the command arp -d
	192.168.20.20 (with your own IP Address value in place of this one). Then
	click on “System Administration” and “Reset Adapter” to store the values
	.
Note	Windows 95/98 pre-winsoc2 TCP/IP has a bug in which an arp entry will
	not be created unless a valid arp entry exists in the arp table on the client
	you are using. To ensure you have a valid arp entry, ping your own
	workstation in the DOS window and type the command arp -ato view the
	arp table before using the arp -scommand.
	Using BOOTP

BOOTP allows you to assign an IP address to the NIC upon bootup. In addition, the BOOTP server can provide additional details such as a default router/gateway address. To configure the NIC with its TCP/IP settings using BOOTP, complete the following steps.

1.On your BOOTP server, make an entry in the /etc/bootptab file for the NIC.

Syntax:

NICIPname:\ :sm=netmask:\ :hd=homedirectory:\ :bf=null:\ :gw=defaultgateway:\ :ht=ethernet:\ :ha=ethernetaddress:\ :ip=ipaddress:\ :ts=timeserver:\ :to=timezone:

Example:

spike:\

:sm=255.255.255.0:\

:hd=/usr/null:\

:bf=null:\

:gw=192.75.11.1:\

:ht=ethernet:\

:ha=008072070060:\

:ip=192.75.11.9:\

:ts=192.75.11.7:\
