TCP/IP Network Configuration Information
Here are the important numbers for configuring your computer for
our local TCP/IP network at Vassar College.
If your computer is configured to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol, or "get IP address automatically" on Windows) then these
should all be set for you automatically.
If you don't use DHCP then you will have to use this information to
configure manually.
After network partitioning in January 2004 the department of Physics
and Astronomy have the sub-network 143.229.45.yyy and the gateway
and netmask have been changed accordingly.
|
Hostname:
|
|
Try to pick a name that conforms to
RFC 1178.
|
|
IP Address:
|
|
The third number is "45" for Physics and Astrononmy.
Other departments should use their own sub-net number,
which is different for different buildings (ask CIS).
|
|
Netmask:
|
|
This indicates a "Class C" network.
|
|
Gateway (Router):
|
|
The third number is "45" for Physics and Astrononmy,
ie. 143.229.45.1.
Other departments need to use their own
department subnet gateway.

Nameservers:
|
143.229.1.6
