About obtaining IP address automatically
<DHCP> or <Auto IP> (Bonjour) is enabled in the default setting.
So, the IP address can be obtained automatically when not setting IP address
manually.
<DHCP> setting is prioritized over <Auto IP>.
If using the machine in Bonjour environment, the IP address can be obtained automatically
without the dedicated device (such as a DHCP server) necessary for the auto settings of IP
address.
If the IP address of the machine is changed
When the machine and computer are on the same subnet, the
