Network information
ò
Host Name
The host name of your SPARCbook is the name by which it is known
to other computers connected to the network. For example:
Host name: chianti
The name must be unique to your SPARCbook system as duplicated
names will disrupt the operation of the network.
ò
Internet Address
The IP address of your SPARCbook consists of four groups of decimal
numbers separated by periods. For example:
Internet (IP) Address: 195.5.2.15
The IP address must be unique to your SPARCbook system as
duplicated addresses will disrupt the network.
ò
Name Service
After you have entered your SPARCbook’s host name and IP address,
you are prompted to select the name service you require. Using NIS and
NIS+ can cause start-up problems if you later try to use your
SPARCbook without a network connection.
