2.4. Configuring the LaCie Net-
work Space on a Network
Without a DHCP Server
Most home networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning the
router assigns an IP address to all devices on the network to
allow devices to find each other. If your network does not have
DHCP server, you may need to manually assign your LaCie Net-
work Space an IP address and other network information.
The easiest way to modify your LaCie Network Space’s network
configuration is to use the LaCie Network Assistant. See section
2.3. Connect with LaCie Network Assistant for information on
installing the network configuration software.
1. Start LaCie Network Assistant (see section 2.3. Connect with
LaCie Network Assistant ).
2. Windows Users: Click on the LaCie Network Assistant icon in
the system tray and select Configuration Window... (Fig.
2.4-A). The LaCie Network Assistant Configuration window
opens.
Mac users: Click on the LaCie Network Assistant icon in the
menu bar and select Network Configuration.... The LaCie
Network Assistant Configuration window opens.
3. Click the Network tab.
4. Select Manual.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If the fields (IP address, Subnet mask,
etc.) are filled when Automatic (DHCP) is selected, you do
not need to make manual settings. Leave Automatic selected.
