Open up a command prompt on your pc Type: ipconfig /all This will give you the subnet mask, gateway and dns settings you should use on the ds. If your pc is 192.168.1.10 you should have your ds in the same range (the first 3 numbers should match), i.e., 192.168.1.11. So if you have 192.168.0.200 as your pc ip, use 192.168.0.11 as your ds ip. So long as you don't have two devices on the network with the same ip and you server and ds are in the same ip range you should be sorted.
