<h1>Network Wizard</h1>
The Network Wizard guides you through the steps to add a new network to the DHCP server's list of configured networks. The Network Wizard is available from the Edit menu, when the Address view is displayed.<P>
<p>
To enter information, double-click in the field, enter the desired value, and then press Enter.
The following table describes the information required to add a network to the DHCP server.

<table border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=3>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="addr"><STRONG>Network Address</STRONG></A></td>
<td valign="top">
Enter the IP address of the network you are configuring.<p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="info"><STRONG>Subnet Mask</STRONG></A><br></td>
<td valign="top">
Enter the subnet mask for this network. A subnet mask is a way of dividing
up the host portion of an Internet address to form local subnetworks.
</TD></TR>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="info"><STRONG>Network Type</STRONG></A><br></td>
<td valign="top">
Specify whether the network is a local area network (LAN) or point-to-point (PPP).<p>
</TD>

<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="router"><STRONG>Routing</STRONG></A></td>
<td valign="top">A router is a machine with multiple network
interfaces that can forward IP packets from one network to
another. In most cases, your clients should use router discovery to
connect to a router. If you have clients in your network that cannot
use router discovery, enter the IP address of a router which
they can use to communicate with systems on another network.

<STRONG>NIS Servers</STRONG></td>
<td width=315 valign="top">If the server is configured to use NIS naming service,
the NIS server information will be filled in. If not, you can enter the domain
name and IP address of one or more NIS name servers.<P>
The order in which the address appears in the list determines the order in
which the servers are queried.

<STRONG>NIS+ Servers</STRONG></td>

the NIS+ server information will be filled in. If not, you can enter
the domain name and IP address of one or more NIS+ name servers.<P>
The order in which the address appears in the list determines the order in
which the servers are queried.
