The print server should now respond to the ping. Substitute your values for these addresses when you type in the commands.Įxample: arp -s 192.168.100.201 00-00-48-93-00-00Įxecute the ping command to set the IP address by pinging it: In the following procedure, we assume that the MAC address of your print server is 00:00:48:93:00:00 (hexadecimal), and that the IP address which you will be assigning is 192.168.100.201 (decimal). To set the new IP address of the print server which you have obtained from your network administrator, use the ping command and arp command with the -s flag (create an ARP entry). The Ethernet connection to the computer has been made correctly, and all hubs, routers, etc. The address in the ping command is correct. If you cannot "ping" the computer, check the following:

If you press Ctrl-C, you may see something like this:ģ packets transmitted, 0 packets received,Īgain, the exact wording of the message you see may differ from this, depending on your operating system. If the computer is unreachable, you may see something like this:
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/command-window-ping-responsive_ip-5806b40f3df78cbc2845ab91-5a982255ae9ab8003783f221.png)
If the computer is reachable, you can see the following result (the exact form of the message depends on your operating system, and the time may vary):Ħ4 bytes from 192:168:100:101:icmp_seq=0. Check that the computer is reachable by "pinging" it from the command line: If there is no gateway, enter the IP address of your computer as a gateway address.Īssume that you want to reach to the computer having the IP address "192.168.100.101". If there is a server or a router which acts as a gateway, enter the address of the server or the router.

Set the default gateway to the host on which you are setting up the print server. You can find out the MAC address on a status sheet.įirst, you need to check that the computer can reach to other computer in the same segment, as follows: The MAC (Ethernet hardware) address of the print server. If you are the network administrator, choose an address within your subnet which does not conflict with any other device. Ask your network administrator for an IP address which does not cause conflicts with any other device on the network. Make sure the print server and the computer are in the same segment.īefore you start, you need the following information:Ī valid IP address for the print server. If this function is disabled, you cannot set the IP address using the arp/ping command. Make sure that the Set using PING function is enabled on the TCP/IP menu in EpsonNet WinAssist or EpsonNet WebAssist. You can also use these commands with Windows Me/98/95/XP/2000/NT 4.0, if you have correctly installed TCP/IP networking on these systems. If you are using UNIX or OS/2, you need to use the arp and ping command to set the IP address of the print server. Setting an IP Address Using the arp/ping Command
