Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your computer
to connect to your CheetahAccess Internet Gateway. You also need to determine
how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers
automatically, using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Control
Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and associated numbers,
which you must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your
ISP assigns your IP address determines how you will configure your computer.
Here is what to do:
1. From the Windows desktop, click
the “Start” button. Choose
“Settings,” then click “Control
Panel.”
2. Double-click the “Network &
Dial-Up Connections” icon.
