Using the Detailed View
Clicking the Detailed View displays the Network Settings dialog which is navigated by clicking
any visible tag. From this dialog you can display, edit and refine the settings for any supported
network protocol.
Note:
Any changes that you make are only implemented when you click the OK button; consequently,
all of the protocols can be safely browsed and edited before deciding to save the settings.
With reference to the on-line help information and the table below, use the Detailed View to
manually configure the Network Settings:
