HOT TIP!
If you don't know a valid DNS (domain name sever) IP address, you can still update your
Xstream by obtaining the IP address of the FTP computer as follows:
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 "ping ftp.zephyr.com <enter>"
3. You should receive a reply. If you do not get a reply check with your IT manager for
assistance - your firewall may not allow FTP access. The reply will include the current
IP address of the Telos FTP server.
4. Enter this IP address as "FTP site" in the Xstream.
