1. Host Name is the unique name by which a network-attached device is known on a
network.
2. Domain Name is the name of a tool on the Internet.
3. DNS Server: The domain name service (DNS) converts domain names to IP
addresses.
4. Adapter Name is the name of network adapter.
5. IP Address: Refer to Useful terms.
6. Subnet Mask is used to identify the network within the large network.
7. Default Gateway is a node (a router) on a network that serves as an access point to
another network.

There are four commands in downside area of IP Info tab:
1. Use the Renew command to get the newest IP information.
2. Use the Ping command to check if the network is connected.
A. Try to ping a well-known host on the network. A DNS server is a good target host.
If the ping command gets a response, the system is connected to the network. If it cannot
connect to a particular host, the problem is either with the network configuration or that
host. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
If the ping command does not get a response, continue.
B. Attempt to connect to another host on the same subnet as the system.
If the ping command can connect to a host on the same subnet, but cannot connect to a
host on a different subnet, the default gateway is probably down.
If the ping command cannot connect to any hosts, continue.
C. Use the Config command to determine if the WLan settings is misconfigured.
If the Config is misconfigured, configure it correctly. For more information, refer to “Config”
tab.
If the Config is correctly configured, continue.
D. Contact your network administrator to verify that there are no conditions on the network
that prevent the system from connecting to the network.
If conditions prevent the system from connecting to the network, have your network
administrator correct them.
Note: Before ping, you have some information to complete in the dialog box. Fill in the IP
address/ Host Name, select the timeout (ms) and size (byte), and determine whether to
resolve target name and infinite.
