Network Configuration

If you are installing from CD-ROM and have a network card in place, you can now configure your networking information.

Figure 6-10. Entering Network Information

You have two choices in this dialog (see Figure 6-10):

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 essentially "fill in the blanks" for you.)
Enter static network information in the fields provided. In this case, the network information you supply is assigned to this system.
