IP Setup
4-23
In the Primary DNS Server IP Address menu item, the Primar y 
DNS Ser ver IP Address will be automatically generated from the 
connection profile screen if one has been entered.
In the Secondary DNS Server IP Address menu item, the 
Secondar y DNS Ser ver IP Address will be automatically generated 
from the connection profile screen, if an address has been 
entered. (A secondar y DNS IP address is not required, but may 
be helpful. For instance, if the Netopia ISDN Router attempts to 
communicate to the primar y DNS but it is unavailable, then it will 
attempt to communicate with the secondar y DNS. If the 
secondar y DNS is available and the IP address is resolved than 
the Netopia will be able to connect to the ISP or remote network.)
You are now finished setting up DHCP Options. To return to the IP 
Address Ser ving screen press the Escape key once.
DHCP NetBIOS Options
If your network uses NetBIOS, you can enable the Netopia ISDN 
Router to use DHCP to distribute NetBIOS information.
NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input/Output System. It is a layer 
of software originally developed by IBM and Sytek to link a network 
operating system with specific hardware. NetBIOS has been adopted 
as an industr y standard. It offers LAN applications, a variety of 
“hooks” to carr y out inter-application communications and data 
transfer. Essentially, NetBIOS is a way for application programs to talk 
to the network. To run an application that works with NetBIOS, a 
non-IBM network operating system or network inter face card must 
offer a NetBIOS emulator. Many vendors either provide a version of 
NetBIOS to inter face with their hardware or emulate its transpor t layer 
communications ser vices in their network products. A NetBIOS 
emulator is a program provided by NetWare clients that allow 
workstations to run applications that suppor t IBM’s NetBIOS calls.
