Setting up the Network
To set up the network, you will need to work with your system administrator
to obtain the information needed. Before you begin, you should ask your
system administrator: Is the network Dynamic or Static? If it is Static,
what is the IP Address and Gateway? If it is Static, what is the First and
Second DNS? Is there a Proxy Setting? If so, The Auto Configure Proxy URL
OR The Host and Port for HTTP: and FTP and the No Proxies For URL's
