Names and IPs

When setting up NewsShare NAS on an existing network, to change the values
of the Names and IPs window to suit the network, choose

Network | Names

and IPs

. The Names and IPs window appears. If you are not making

NewsShare NAS part of an existing network, use the default values set at the
factory.

NOTE: For information on using IP addresses in a network, see
“Basics of IP Addresses” on page 42.

1. Review or change the

domain

name for the NewsShare NAS network. If

Domain Name Service (DNS) is going to be used, this entry is the Local
Domain Name on DNS. It cannot be changed on the DNS window. Use a
maximum of 64 characters, which can be alphanumeric, and underscore (_),
or a period. The first character must be alpha. Blanks are not accepted.

2. Review or change the

gateway address

. The gateway IP address links

NewsShare NAS to public networks. You can use a gateway that is used by
another computer in the network. This address might be the address of your
corporate LAN.
