(usually located with your ISP). If that name is not an entry in your ISP’s DNS table, the request is then
referred to another higher-level server, and so on, until the entry is found. The server then returns the
associated IP address.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the
nslookup
command from the Start menu. Click
the
Start
button, and then click
Run
. In the
Open
text box, type the following:
nslookup
Click
OK
. A
Command Prompt
window is displayed with a bracket prompt (>). At the prompt, type
the name of the Internet address that you are interested in, such as
www.microsoft.com
.
The window will display the associate IP address, if known, as shown below:

There may be several addresses associated with an Internet name. This is common for web sites that
receive heavy traffic; they use multiple, redundant servers to carry the same information.
To exit from the
nslookup
utility, type
exit
and press
[
Enter
]
at the command prompt.

Configuring the Internet Settings
This appendix provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to work with
the OxyGEN miniOffice.
Configuring Ethernet PCs
Before you Begin
By default, the OxyGEN miniOffice automatically assigns the required Internet settings to your PCs. You
need to configure the PCs to accept this information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information manually to some or all of
your computers rather than allow the OxyGEN miniOffice to do so. See
Assigning Static
Internet Information to your PCs
on page 185 for instructions.
If you have connected your LAN PCs via Ethernet to the OxyGEN miniOffice, follow the instructions
that correspond to the operating system installed on your PC:

Assigning Static Internet Information to your PCs
If you are a typical user, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your LAN PCs because
your ISP automatically assigns this information for you.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your PCs
directly (often called "statically"), rather than allowing the OxyGEN miniOffice to assign it. This option
may be desirable (but not required) if:
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always associate with
specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as a public web server).
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in
Appendix B
).
Before you begin, you must have the following information available:
