Setting up the Network

To set up
the network, you will need to work with your system administrator to
obtain the information needed. Before you begin, you should ask your
system administrator: Is the network Dynamic or Static? If it is Dynamic,
what is the IP Address and Gateway? If it is Dynamic, what is the First
and Second DNS? Is there a Proxy Setting? If so, The Auto Configure Proxy
URL OR The Host and Port for HTTP: and FTP and the No Proxies For
URL's
