How do I assign a host name and IP address to my Windows NT 2000 system?
To display/change your computer name (host name) and workgroup, go to Start->Settings->Control Panel, doubleclick on the “System” icon, and go to the “Network Identification” tab (you can change the settings by clicking on “Properties”). To assign an IP address: • Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel. • Doubleclick on the “Network and Dial-up Connections” icon. • Doubleclick on the “Local Area Connection” icon. • Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and press “Properties”. • Assign an IP address, subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0), and default gateway (blank unless you have an outside internet connection). You can also define a Domain Name Server here (for accessing external web sites). If you are on a large network, your system administrator should be able to tell you what these settings should be.
