Mac OS X Server 10.2: Must Enter Router Address in Setup Assistant

The Setup Assistant for Mac OS X Server requires that a router address be entered. This document describes how to work around this for networks on which there is no router.
Symptom

The Server Setup Assistant will not allow you to finish without entering a router address.


Solution

You may enter an arbitrary but valid IP address for the router. For simplicity, you should enter the server computer's IP address. After completing the Setup Assistant, you may change or remove the router address in the Network pane of the System Preferences application, which does not require a router address to be entered.
