Hughes DW6000 User Manual

The instructions for configuring a Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP system 
with a static IP address vary slightly. Find the appropriate instructions for your 
system and follow them. 

As you manually configure the client computers you will enter:

• IP Address. You need a valid IP address for each computer. Make sure the 

address does not conflict with any other computer connected to the 
DW6000. You can obtain the entire list of available addresses for use with 
your DW6000 from the Frequently Asked Questions section of the DW6000 
System Control Center.

• Subnet Mask. This is the subnet mask assigned to your DW6000. It is 

available on the System Information page of the System Control Center. 
You would also have written this on the Quick Start Guide during 
registration.

• Default Gateway. This is the IP address of the DW6000 and is also available 

on the System Information page of the System Control Center. You would 
have also written this on the Quick Start Guide at the end of registration.
