Please note that when using the default IP address as in the above

example, the first three numbers in the IP address must always be

the same with only the fourth number changing. This is because the

first three numbers define the network IP address (all machines

must belong to the same IP network), while the last number denotes

the host address (each host must have a unique number). Also note

that the subnet mask is the same for all machines and the default

gateway address is the Local LAN IP address of the internet server.

The second way to use the default settings is to allow the internet

server to automatically assign IP addresses to your computers using

DHCP. To do this, simply make sure your computers’ IP addresses

are set to 0.0.0.0. Under Windows, choose the option ‘Obtain an IP

address automatically’ in the TCP/IP network component described

above. When your computer is restarted, it will automatically be

given a valid IP address, subnet mask and gateway address by the

internet server.  For this option to work, the internet server’s DHCP

feature must be enabled, which it is by default.
