HOT TIP!

If you need to "borrow" the IP address of a Windows computer to use when updating your

extreme, here are some tips:

1. Go to the MS-DOS command line of the Windows machine (Run " cmd <enter>" for Win

2000 or Win NT; or Run "command <enter>" for Win 95 or 98.

2. From the command line type "ipconfig <enter>". The IP address, and default gateway

for that machine will be displayed. Write down this information.

3. Power off the computer that you just obtained this information from (or disconnect it

from your network)

4. Enter this IP address and gateway into the Xstream

5. Connect the Xstream to your network.

6. Be sure to delete these entries from the Xstream when you are finished. You can then

power up the computer.
