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.
