Setting Up the Machine Web Page 7-3
Setting Up the Machine Web Page
Setting up the machine web page to run on your network involves two basic
steps:
„ Determining the name or address of your machine
„ Setting up the “no proxy” preferences in your browser software
Determining the Machine Name
The machine web page can be accessed in two ways:
„ Through the assigned name of the machine—This name comes from the
IP host table (the filename is hosts) on the computer system and is usu-
ally assigned by the system administrator (for example, magicolor
1690MF). It may be more convenient for you to use the machine name
than the IP address.
Location of the Host Table on the PC
z
Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP
\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
z Windows 2000
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
„ Through the machine’s IP address—The IP address of your machine is a
unique number and, therefore, may be the preferred identification to enter,
especially if you have more machine active in your network. The
machine’s IP address is listed on the configuration page.
Setting Up Your Browser Software
Since your machine resides on your intranet and is not accessible beyond the
firewall of your network, you must set up the proper “preferences” in your
browser software. Your machine name or IP address must be added to the
“no proxy” list in the preferences dialog box of the browser.
"
You need to do this procedure only once.
The sample screens below may be different from yours depending on soft-
ware versions and operating systems in use.
"
Our examples represent the IP address of the machine with
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Always enter your machine's IP address without lead-
ing zeros. For example, 192.168.001.002 should be entered as
192.168.1.2.
