A freshly flashed node automatically sets its IP address to <code>172.30.0.xx</code>. You will need to configure your laptop to use the following network settings to communicate with the node:


* IP address: <code>172.30.0.10</code>
'''''If you are configuring something other than a WD MyNet N600, or firmware version 0.2.3 or earlier, follow ([[#Makenode_.28v.0.2.3_and_earlier.29|these instructions]])'''''
* Subnet mask:  <code>255.255.255.0</code>
* Gateway: <code>0.0.0.0</code>
 
Or use the commands
  sudo ip link set <eth_interface> down
  sudo ip addr add 172.30.0.10/24 dev <eth_interface>
  sudo ip link set <eth_interface> up
 
where <code><eth_interface></code> is the name of your ethernet interface found using <code>ip addr</code> (common names include <code>eth0</code>, <code>enp3s0</code>, ...)
