If you are installing over the network, configure your network
connection as explained in this section and
then return to
the section called
Installing over a Network
.
Figure 9-25
appears only if your computer has a network card. (If there
is more than one network card, this dialog configures the primary
card.)
You have two choices:
-
Select
Use bootp/dhcp
. In this case, an existing
server on your LAN dynamically supplies network-related information
needed to add this system to the network at connect-time. (Note that
if you do this, the remaining fields in this dialog will be disabled,
as DHCP and BOOTP in essence "fill in the blanks" for you.)
-
Enter static network information in the fields provided. In this case,
the network information you supply is assigned permanently to this
computer.
Table 9-1
shows
sample
information. Obtain the actual
information from your network administrator.
