Step 2: Configure the PCs
In Step 2, you will configure each of your computers to be able to communi-
cate with the Gateway.
To do this, you need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or
TCP/IP) address automatically (this action is also referred to as DHCP).
Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network
or the Internet.
Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows
95, 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP. One way to find out which operating system
you have is by clicking the Start button and then Settings. Click Control
Panel, and then double-click the System icon. Proceed to the section for the
operating system you are running on your PC.
If your operating system is not referenced here, refer to your operating system’s
documentation.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Gateway.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network set-
tings, depending on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once
you’ve configured your computers, continue to Step 3: Configure the Gateway.

Note: You may need to place a small device called a microfilter (not
included) between each phone and wall jack to prevent interference.
Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
