through SAM.

To manually adjust the address, do the following:

1. Issue the command ifconfig lan0 broadcast

255.255.255.255.

2. Issue the command /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

3. Edit the BROADCAST_ADDRESS variable for lan0 to

255.255.255.255.

To change the address through SAM, do the following:

1. Choose the Networking and Communications area.

2. Choose the Network Interface Cards area.

3. Go to Advanced Options and set the broadcast address to

255.255.255.255.

If there is more than one LAN interface, each must have a broadcast

address of 255.255.255.255.
