This is typically performed byediting the file: /etc/bootptabExample:8. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required byyour system.9. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically performedusing the bootpd command.10. Restart the print server to download the IP address, default router address,and subnet mask. The print server can automatically download a customizedconfig file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and theTFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is downloadedimmediately after the print server receives its IP address.11. You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Proceed to“Adding a Network Printer to your Computer” on page 22.Set the IP Addressusing AutoIPAutoIP sets the IP address automatically in the absence of a DHCP server inWindows Me, 2000 and XP. If you have a DHCP server running on your network,the print server will receive an IP address immediately after you haveconnected it to the network. In the absence of a DHCP server, your print serverwill automatically be assigned an IP address through integrated AutoIP. TheAutoIP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx.The AutoIP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in your print server.This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new printserver.The easiest way to make sure DHCP and AutoIP are enabled is to reset yourprint server (to Factory Default). See “The Test Button” on page 102 forinstruction on how to do this.If you perform a Factory Default on the print server and you do not have aDHCP server on your network, AutoIP will automatically set the IP address ofthe print server.Set the IP Addressusing ARP inWindows 98/NT/Me/2000/XPOpen a Command Prompt and enter the following commands::ht=:vm=:\:ha=:ip=:\:sm=:gw=npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\:ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1Syntax Example1.2.3.arp -s ping arp -d arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86ping 192.168.3.191arp -d 192.168.3.191
