W-6: Network configuration worksheet 
Fill out the appropriate worksheet for the network configuration 
the customer is using. This information is used to configure the 
network through the FreeFlow Print Server Network 
Configuration screens. 
For further information on each network configuration, refer to 
the FreeFlow Print Server on-line help. 
IP Configuration 
Two options are available for configuring TCP/IP on the 
FreeFlow Print Server. 
Static IP configuration requires that the System Administrator 
enter the hostname, IP address, default router gateway, and 
subnet mask information into the Network configuration UI. This 
information is available on Worksheet W-1. 
DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, retrieves the 
values for the configuration from the DHCP server on the 
network. The System Administrator can rewrite the hostname. 
NIS/NIS+ 
The Network Information Service (NIS and NIS+) provides 
simple network lookup services. The purpose of NIS and NIS+ 
is to provide information that needs to be known throughout the 
network to all machines on the network. 
If the Domain Name, Server IP Address, and Server Name are 
not known, select Find One in the dialog. The appropriate 
information is obtained from the NIS/NIS+ server on the 
network. The server must be configured to accept broadcast 
requests.
