Configuring Your Computer
This Installation Guide provides configuration instructions for Windows 95, 98, Me,
NT4.0 and 2000, as well as for Mac OS 7.x or later. Please be sure that you are
following the proper instruction set for your operating system.
• Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/Me begins on this page.
• Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000 begins on page 6.
• Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0 begins on page 8.
• Configuring Your Macintosh Computer begins on page 10.
Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/Me
You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of
Windows. This is because these steps were created from Windows 98. Windows 95
and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, configure
your computer to connect to your F5D6231-4 Gateway. Many ISPs issue these
numbers automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host
Configuration 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. From “Control Panel” Double-click the “Network” icon.
3. In the “Network” window, under the “Configuration” tab, double-click the “TCP/
IP” component that is listed with your network card.
4. Select the “IP Address” tab. If “Obtain an IP address automatically” is already
selected, your computer is already configured for DHCP. Click “Cancel” to close
each window, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.”
5. Locate your IP address and Subnet Mask. Record them in the spaces below.
