Tips for Administrator

If you press Ctrl-C, you may see something like this:
192:168:100:101 PING Statistics
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received,
100% packet loss

Again, the exact wording of the message you see may differ
from this, depending on your operating system. If you cannot
“ping” the computer, check the following:

❏ The address in the ping command is correct.

❏ The Ethernet connection to the computer has been made

correctly, and all hubs, routers, etc. are switched on.

Setting and checking the new IP address

To set the new IP address of the network interface which you have
obtained from your network administrator, use the ping
command and arp command with the -s flag (create an ARP
entry).

Note:
In the following procedure, we assume that the MAC address of your
network interface is 00:00:48:93:00:00 (hexadecimal), and that the IP
address which you will be assigning is 192.168.100.201 (decimal).
Substitute your values for these addresses when you type in the
commands.

1. From the command line, type:

Example: arp -s 192.168.100.201 00-00-48-93-00-00

2. Execute the ping command to set the IP address by pinging

it: Example:
ping 192.168.100.201
