Parameter

Description

Configuration
Source

The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP Photosmart:

AutoIP: The installation software automatically determines the
configuration parameters.

DHCP: The configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small networks,
this could be a router.

Manual: The configuration parameters are set manually, such as a static
IP address.

Not Specified: The mode used when the HP Photosmart is initializing.

DNS server

The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. When you
use the web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it. For
example, the URL http://www.hp.com contains the domain name hp.com. The
DNS on the Internet translates the domain name into an IP address. Devices
use the IP addresses to refer to one another.

IP Address: The IP address of the domain name server.

Not Specified: The IP address is not specified, or the device is initializing.

NOTE:

Check to see if a DNS IP address appears on the network

configuration page. If no address is shown, obtain the DNS IP address from
your Internet service provider (ISP).
