Using DHCP

This machine can be used in a DHCP environment.

If you are using a DHCP relay agent on a network that is connected to an ISDN line, the ISDN line may be used each time a packet is sent from the machine, incurring communication charges.
If your network environment is using DHCP and you have configured the machine to obtain its IP address automatically but the machine is operating in Auto-IP (169.254.xxx.xxx) mode, the machine might have obtained an incorrect IP address or might be using the same address as another network device. If this happens, consult your network administrator.

Supported DHCP server operating systems are: Windows 2000 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or higher, NetWare, and UNIX standard.
Reserve an IP address for the machine on the DHCP server so the same address will be assigned to the machine at all times.
When there are multiple DHCP servers, make the same reservation for all. This machine uses information from the DHCP server that responds first.

For details about checking the IP address in the Configuration List, see Quick Installation Guide.
