2.6. Assigning a Static IP Address

Most home networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning that the

router will automatically assign the Network Space 2 an IP address.

If the network is not DHCP-managed, the Network Space 2 will as-

sign itself an IP address following the rule 169.254.xxx.yyy/24.

If your network requires devices to be assigned a static IP, follow

these steps to use the LaCie Network Assistant:

1. Make sure the LNA is installed on your computer (see section

2.3. STEP 3: Connect using LaCie Network Assistant for details).
