IP configuration page
Note that the two protocols (IPv4 and IPv6) require slightly different settings.

Auto retrieve IP

— If you select

Yes

, the IP address is obtained automatically from the server. This setting is sometimes also

called dynamic IP address. If you select

No

, you must specify the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the fields

below.

Auto retrieve DNS

— If you select

Yes

for the IPv4 protocol, or

DHCP

for the IPv6 protocol, the primary and secondary DNS

(domain name server) addresses are obtained automatically from the server. DNS is an Internet service that translates domain

names such as www.nokia.com into IPv4 addresses such as 192.100.124.195, or IPv6 addresses like

3ffe:2650:a640:1c2:341:c39:14. If you select

No

for the IPv4 protocol, or

Manual

for the IPv6 protocol, you must specify the

IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers.
