    If you don't know which IP addresses are being used on your network, you can detect these addresses using the Angry IP scanner software, download it at angryip.org/download/. But be careful: some addresses are not used because the computer or other device is currently turned off, and with many networks using dynamic addressing, the IP address you choose could be assigned to another device at any time via a DHCP server.  Once you have selected an appropriate address for the drive, set the rotary switch according to the address table. If no default address is acceptable to you, you can type a new address table through the software. If your network uses addresses that start with 192.168.0, the common subnet mask, you can choose 4 through E on the rotary switch. If your network uses an address that starts with 192.168.1, the common subnet mask, you can choose 1 through 3 on the rotary switch. If your computer address is not in the above subnet mask, you can change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 to communicate with your drive about your drive. Change your subnet mask:1、 in Windows XP, right-click on "My network" and select "Properties", Windows 7, click on computer, scroll down until you see "Network" in the left pane, right-click and select "Properties", select "Change adapter Settings".
