<p>Here you should enter the IP address for the network interface.</p>
<p>Please note: If your network is connected to the internet, you should only enter IP addresses you have been given by your provider.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you should enter one of the IP addresses which are explicitly reserved for private use.</p>
<p>Most small private networks use class C networks, which allow up to 255 computers in your network. So simply use addresses like 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.171 and so on for your computers.</p>
<p>Class C networks: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, for example 192.168.0.13.</p>
<p>Class B networks: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, for example 172.28.2.5</p>
<p>Class A networks: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, for example 10.5.12.14</p>
<p>Please ensure that all IP addresses you give to your computers are unique; you will have many problems if the same address is assigned to more than one network device.</p>
