Setting Up Your Computer’s IP
Address
Note: Your specific ZyXEL device may not support all of the operating systems
described in this appendix. See the product specifications for more information
about which operating systems are supported.
This appendix shows you how to configure the IP settings on your computer in
order for it to be able to communicate with the other devices on your network.
Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS 9/OS X, and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include
the software components you need to use TCP/IP on your computer.
If you manually assign IP information instead of using a dynamic IP, make sure
that your network’s computers have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet.
In this appendix, you can set up an IP address for:
•
Windows XP/NT/2000
on
page 217
•
Windows Vista
on
page 221
•
Mac OS X: 10.3 and 10.4
on
page 225
•
Mac OS X: 10.5
on
page 229
•
Linux: Ubuntu 8 (GNOME)
on
page 232
•
Linux: openSUSE 10.3 (KDE)
on
page 237
Windows XP/NT/2000
