    • Enable Obtain the IP address from a DHCP server if the network supports DHCP protocol for obtaining the IP address automatically.
    • If you want to assign a fixed IP address, enable Static IP address and enter all relevant information.
      IP address You have to enter a valid IP address.
      Subnet mask You have to enter a valid subnet mask.
      Gateway You have to enter a valid gateway if you want to access Internet; otherwise, you can only use LAN.
      DNS-1, DNS-2 Please enter at least one DNS server address if you want to use the domain name (www.example.com), instead of numerical IP address to connect to Internet.
  4. Enable Check network by pinging gateway if you want to adjust IP configurations automatically whenever the DHCP network changes. Enable this function and SMP player will send out a ping packet every 3 minutes to check the gateway.
