Verifying the IP Address in Windows 2000
or Windows XP
To check the IP address:
1 On the Windows Desktop, click Start.
2 Select Run. The Run window is displayed.
3 Type cmd and click OK. A window like the one at upper left is displayed.
4 Type ipconfig and press ENTER to display your IP configuration. A display, like the
window at upper left, indicates a normal configuration.
If an Autoconfiguration IP Address is displayed as in the window at bottom left, there
is an incorrect connection between your PC and the cable modem or there are cable
network problems. Check:
• Your cable connections
• Whether you can see cable-TV channels on your television
After verifying your cable connections and proper cable-TV operation, you can renew
your IP address.
