Appendix C: TCP/IP Network Settings 103
Windows TCP/IP Settings
How you configure your Windows computer’s network settings
differs, depending on your operating system. Go to the section that
corresponds to your Window’s operating system.
Note:
If you are using a Windows computer, you do not have to
configure the TCP/IP settings. This is because your Windows
computer will automatically configure them for you. Only
Windows users who are troubleshooting the
X6
will need to verify
the TCP/IP settings.
