Mac OS X Server 10.1, 10.2: Network Settings for Ethernet Port Are Incorrect After Using Setup Assistant

After using the Server Assistant, a port may be misconfigured with IP information intended for a different port.
Symptom

Network settings entered in the setup assistant appear on the wrong port.

This does not affect the built-in Ethernet port. It occurs when the computer has AirPort or an additional PCI Ethernet card, or if the computer is capable of IP over FireWire.


Solution

Use Network preferences to correct the settings.
