Work around this limitation by setting a static IP address outside of the range controlled via DHCP. Here are the instructions lifted from the Samsung CLX-3170FN user guide: • Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer. If your machine has a control panel, you can also change IP address using the machine's control panel. In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you. IP setting using the control panel 1. Press Menu on the control panel until you see Network on the bottom line of the display and press OK. 2. Press the left/right arrow until TCP/IP appears and press OK. 3. Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK. 4. Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK. 5. Enter a byte between 0 and 255 using the number keypad and press the left/right arrow to move between bytes. 6. Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte. 7. When you have finished, press OK. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters: subnet mask and gateway address. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
