Obtain LAN conﬁguration dynamically

Select this option if appropriate. If you choose Obtain LAN conﬁguration dynamically, the information is

detected automatically through DHCP.

Specify ﬁxed LAN conﬁguration

Select this option if you will not be using DHCP. If you choose Specify ﬁxed LAN conﬁguration, you will have

to enter the following information:

• IP address.

• IP of the netmask.

• IP of the gateway.

• IP of the DNS Server, if applicable.

• Host name (the name will identify the computer on the Internet, such as SL4020.patton.com).

• Domain name (the name that will identify one or more IP addresses). For example, the patton.com domain

is used by Patton Electronics Company. That domain can include multiple hostnames (such as

SL4020.patton.com, ftp.patton.com, and so on) that point to individual computers on the Patton network.

In short, for the hostname URL http://www.patton.com, the domain name is patton.com.
