The Network Cards window displays information about the following:
Vendor | Company that sells the network card. |
Current MAC Address | Media access control address. On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC address is your computer's unique hardware number. |
IP Address | A number that provides the address of a system or device attached to a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network. Every system and device, such as a network attached storage device, must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2. |
Subnet Mask | Required setting on any host that communicates on an IP network. Subnet mask usually takes the same format as an IP address, except that the values usually are either 255 or 0. The boundary between the network and node address is on a dot between the last 255 and the first 0, sometimes referred to as the byte boundary. An example subnet mask value is 255.255.255.0. |
DHCP Server | IP address of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. |
Default Gateway | A Default gateway is a network point that acts as the entrance to a network. |
Connection Status | Whether the system is connected to the network or not. |
Driver Image Path | Path where drivers for the network cards are stored. |
Driver Version | Version number of the driver for the network card. |
