Das erste Fenster listet die verfügbaren Geräte auf. Wähle das Gerät aus, das eingerichtet werden soll. An diesem Punkt können Sie zwischen einer automatisch generierten oder manuell eingegebenen IP Adresse wählen. Automatische IP Ethernet/IP settings: you have to select if DNS servers are declared by the DHCP server or are manually specified, as explained below. In the last case, the IP address of DNS servers has to be set. The HOSTNAME of the computer can be specified here. If no HOSTNAME is specified, the name localhost.localdomain is attributed by default. The Hostname can also be provided by the DHCP server with the option Assign host name from DHCP server. Not all DHCP servers have such a function and if you're setting up your PC to get an IP address from a domestic ADSL router, it is unlikely. The advanced button give the opportunity to specify: Search domain (not accessible, as provided by the DHCP server) der DHCP-Client DHCP Zeitüberschreitung Get YP server from DHCP (checked by default): specify the NIS server Get NTPD server from DHCP (synchronisation of clocks) the HOSTNAME required by DHCP. Only use this option if the DHCP server requires the client to specify a hostname before receiving an IP address. This option is not dealt by some DHCP servers. After accepting, the last steps which are common to all connection configurations are explained: Manuelle Konfiguration Ethernet/IP settings: you need to declare what DNS servers to use. The HOSTNAME of the computer can be specified here. If no HOSTNAME is specified, the name localhost.localdomain is attributed by default. For a residential network, the IP address usually looks like 192.168.x.x, Netmask is 255.255.255.0, and the Gateway and DNS servers are available from your service provider's website. In advanced settings, you can specified a Search domain. It would usually be your home domain, i.e. if your computer is called "splash", and it's full domain name is "splash.boatanchor.net", the Search Domain would be "boatanchor.net". Unless you specifically need it, it's ok not to define this setting. Again, domestic ADSL would not need this setting. The next steps are exposed at
