If the DHCP server is not available or if it is not configured to supply a hostname, the NSS hostname is assigned using the information entered in the Hostname field. STEP 4 In the Description field, enter the textual description for the NSS as you want it to appear in the file manager window for your users. STEP 5 Select the type of network into which you are making the NSS a member from the following options: • Workgroup: Make the NSS part of a peer-to-peer network. • NTv4 Domain: Make the NSS a part of a pre-Windows 2000 domain. If you select this option, set up the following fields: - NTv4 Domain: Enter the domain name. - Domain Controller: Enter the hostname or IP address of the domain controller. - Username: Enter the username of an account that has administrator privileges for this domain.

(This is the sum of the individual users and individual groups.) It can take up from 2 to 5 minutes to complete the domain join for large ADS domains. When the NSS initially joins the domain, there might be a delay of several minutes until the domain users and groups appear in the graphical user interface (GUI). This delay only occurs after a successful join. Any changes that you make to the users and groups on the domain controller (additions or deletions) can take up to 20 minutes to appear in the GUI Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide 27
