Zeta on a Stand Alone Network

For one reason or another, you once in a while might want to connect your Zeta system to an other computer in a stand alone Ethernet network. The other machine can be running a BeOS-based operating system, or even Windows, MacOS or Linux.

To set up the machine in a stand alone network, first open Preferences and go to the Network preflet. In the network preflet, choose the Identity panel. Make sure that the Domain and Hostname fields in the Names section of the panel are empty, and that the Name servers are set to "0.0.0.0".

Go to the Interfaces panel and set the IP addressing mode to Manual, and then set the Zeta system's IP adress to 192.168.0.N, where N represents a number between 1 and 254 (inclusive).

Set the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and at last set the Gateway to "0.0.0.0".

When having done that, press Set and Apply Changes.
