> ⚠️ - The Subnet Mask and Gateway fields should be configured to match those of the PC. These can be found using the “ipconfig” command.
> ⚠️ - Duplicate IP addresses are not allowed. Make sure the IP address you choose is not being used by another device on the network.
> ⚠️ - The Xpanel IP address must be on the same local network as the PC. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, this means the first 3 values of the IP address must match those of the default gateway. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.0.0, then the first 2 values must match, and so on
