If the machine uses DHCP, the DHCP can configure the DNS Suffix to use a domain name.

Configure or set the DNS Suffix prior to installation of Apex Central. This can be done when:

• The machine uses Static IP
• You do not prefer to permanently set the DNS Suffix from DHCP

To configure the DNS Suffix, do the steps below:

1. Open the Run window, type "ncpa.cpl", and then click OK.

   

   This will open the Network Connections window.

2. Right-click the connection that you want to change, and then select Properties. If prompted, provide the Administrator password or confirmation.
3. Under the "This connection uses the following items" section, select IPv4 or IPv6, whichever is applicable.
4. Click Properties.
5. Click the Advance button.
6. On the new window, go to the DNS tab.
7. Provide the DNS Suffix for this connection.

   

After setting the DNS Suffix, install Apex Central again. The DNS Suffix can be removed after the installation of Apex Central.
