What to Do

1. Assign a host name to the machine.

   The host name must be unique within the network. It can be made up of characters and numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a number or a special character.

2. Determine the IP address for the interface.

   Your network administrator must assign an IP address. Each network device or interface must have a unique IP address.

3. Resume the installation of the system.

   See "How to Install the Enterprise 250 Server". When installing the operating system, you may be prompted to enter the host name and IP address of the machine.

   Note -

   If you have installed a PCI card as a second Ethernet interface, the operating system asks you to select a primary network interface and then prompts you for its host name and IP address. You must configure the second interface separately, after the operating system is installed. See "How to Add an Ethernet Interface".

   Note -

   This system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard, which states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems verifying connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet hub also has the link test function enabled. See "Network Communications Failure" and refer to the manual provided with your hub for more information about the link integrity test function.
