Subnet mask
A series of bits used to identify the subnet number portion of an IP
address. The Subnet mask has four fields separated by periods, in the
form:
w.x.y.z
The range for each of the first three fields (w, x, and y) is 0 through
255. The range for the last field (z) is 1 through 254. The Subnet
mask setting is required.
Default gateway (router)
The IP address of the default router used. A router is a hardware
device that connects networks together to create an internetwork.
The Default gateway (router) has four fields separated by periods, in
the form:
w.x.y.z
The range for each of the four fields is 0 through 255. The Default
gateway (router) setting is optional.
Number of NetBIOS sessions
The number of NetBIOS sessions. For OS/2 workstations, the range
is 1 through 254; the default is 32. An entry is required.
The TCP/IP protocol can be bound to only one network adapter driver
for each server or workstation. If the TCP/IP protocol is bound to more
than one network adapter driver on a server or an MS-DOS
workstation, only the first binding is effective; all subsequent bindings
of TCP/IP to network adapter drivers are ignored.
If you load three or more protocols, make sure that TCP/IP is not the
last protocol loaded.
For more information about TCP/IP, see Appendix C, “
Protocol.”
Workstation Settings
During installation and configuration, you must specify the following
parameters in the Workstation Settings dialog box.
Computername
The name by which the network identifies a computer. The
computername can have as many as 15 characters, and it can contain
letters, numerals, and these characters:
! # $ % & ( ) ^ _ { } ~
The computername cannot be the same as a domain name. It must be
unique on the local-area network or any other network to which this
computer is connected, although it can be the same as the username.
An entry is required.
