 Activate on boot??”Indicate whether you want the network to start at boot time (you
probably do if you have a LAN).
 Set the hostname??”The name identifying your computer within your domain. For
example, if your computer were named ???baskets??? in the handsonhistory.com
domain, your full hostname may be baskets.handsonhistory.com. You can
either set the domain name yourself (manually) or have it assigned automatically, if
that information is being assigned by a DHCP server (automatically via DHCP).
 Gateway??”The IP number of the computer that acts as a gateway to networks outside
your LAN. This typically represents a host computer or router that routes packets
between your LAN and the Internet.
 Primary DNS??”The IP address of the host that translates requested computer names
into IP addresses. It is referred to as a Domain Name System (DNS) server. If the first
name server can??™t be reached, you may also have a Secondary name server. (Most ISPs
will give you two DNS server addresses.)
