For instructions on configuring the search appliance software so that the Google Mini or Google Search Appliance can connect to your network and communicate with the other computers located on the network, please refer to the following documentation as well as contact your Account Specialist for further specific instructions.

When you perform these steps, run the Network and System Settings wizard from the computer that you connected to the search appliance. If the web browser on the computer uses a proxy to connect to the Internet, disable the proxy, which prevents access to the search appliance.
You can use these instructions after you initially configure the search appliance to change the search appliance's network settings. When you change any network settings, only those settings are affected. The index is not reset or otherwise affected by the changes. You do not need to have the search appliance recrawl the content after changing the network settings.
