Use this link to view information on network interface controllers (NIC) that may
be installed in the system.
Network Interface Controller <n> Data (Repeated for Each Network Interface
Present in the System)
IP Address |
A number that provides the address of a system
or device attached to a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network.
Every system and device, such as a network-attached storage device, must have a unique IP
address. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for
example, 204.171.64.2. |
Subnet Mask |
Thirty-two–bit address mask used in IP to
indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address. |
Default Gateway |
The default gateway provides the address of the
router for your network. For example, if you define a subnet 192.168.1.0 and the IP
address for the router interface on that subnet is 192.168.1.254, then all the systems
(other than the router) in that subnet would have a default gateway set for 192.168.1.254.
If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 server as a router: 1) you must bind one
address from each subnet to the NIC in that server, and 2) you must enable Routing and
Remote Access Services (RRAS) in a network router configuration.
The Windows 2000 server acting as a router would have no default gateway unless you
want it to route to another network such as the Internet. If so, then define a default
gateway in RRAS that points at the Internet router. |
MAC Address |
On a network, the MAC (Media Access Control)
address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you connect to the Internet from
your system, a table correlates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address
on the network. |

Current IP Address |
A number that provides the address of a system
or device attached to a TCP/IP network.
Every system and device, such as a network attached storage device, must have a unique IP
address. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for
example, 204.171.64.2. |
Current IP Subnet |
Thirty-two-bit address mask used in IP to
indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address. |
Current IP Gateway |
The IP gateway provides the address of the
router for your network. For example, if you define a subnet 192.168.1.0 and the IP
address for the router interface on that subnet is 192.168.1.254, then all the systems
(other than the router) in that subnet would have a default gateway set for 192.168.1.254.
