Chapter 8. Conﬁguring the Computers on Your Network

8.2.1. Automatic DHCP Service

Your server provides a DHCP server that assigns each of the computers on your network an IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address and DNS IP

address(es). For a more detailed explanation of DHCP, consult the section in the Chapter 5 called "Conﬁguring Your DHCP Server".

Note: In some rare cases, you may want to use a static IP address for a particular client machine. The typical approach is to manually enter this IP

address into the network properties of the speciﬁc machine. The negative side of this approach is that you cannot easily change or alter network

settings without having to go in and modify the information on the client machine. However, it is possible to provide this static IP address directly

through DHCP rather than manually conﬁguring the client computer. To do so, you will ﬁrst need to determine the Ethernet address of the client

computer (usually through the network properties). Next you will go to the Hostnames and addresses web panel of the server manager and enter

the information there.

Only One DHCP Server

It is imperative that no other DHCP server is on your network. If a former DHCP server conﬁgured your computers, you should remove that

DHCP server from your network. Leave DHCP enabled, and reboot each computer. New IP addresses, netmasks, gateway IP addresses and DNS

addresses will be assigned automatically by the server DHCP server.

8.2.2. Manual entry for computers not using DHCP service

As noted above, we strongly recommend that you perform all your client conﬁguration using DHCP. It is even possible to assign a static IP address

through the Hostnames and addresses web panel of the server manager that will be distributed through your DHCP server.

However, if your computers do not support DHCP, you must manually enter the following information into your TCP/IP properties:

Item Description What to enter

IP address Manually enter this information (see paragraph below). You must assign a different, unique IP address to

computers not accepting DHCP (see note below).

subnet mask (or netmask) Manually enter this number. The default subnet mask (or netmask) is

"255.255.255.0".

gateway IP address Enter the IP address for the server or, in the case of

server-only mode, enter the IP address for your

network’s gateway (e.g. the ﬁrewall or network router).

If you are running in server and gateway mode, your

server is your local network’s gateway. Enter its IP

address here: the default is "192.168.1.1". If you are

running in server-only mode, enter the IP address for

the device interfacing with your external network.

IP addresses of your

domain name servers

Manually enter this information. Normally you would just add the IP address for your

server - the default used in the server console is

"192.168.1.1". If you have a ﬁrewall other than your

server that restricts internal queries to Internet DNS

servers, you may need to enter additional DNS servers

here.

It is critical that every computer on your network has a unique IP address and that you don’t assign two computers the same address. In enabling
