Now you may have to configure your other PCs to accept the IP addresses that
your Router will provide. If you have not set a static IP or dynamic IP address,
please follow the directions below. Otherwise, skip to the next section titled
“Configuring Your Cable/DSL Router.” Make sure that a network card or
adapter has been successfully installed in each PC you plan on configuring
before continuing.
1. Click the Start button. Select Settings and then Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
3. In the Configuration window, select the TCP/IP protocol line associated
with your network card/adapter. If there is no TCP/IP protocol line listed for
your card/adapter, go to “Appendix D: Installing the TCP/IP Protocol” to
install the TCP/IP protocol now.
Important: These instructions apply only to Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows ME machines. For TCP/IP setup
under Windows NT, 2000, or XP, see your Windows manual. By
default Windows 98, 2000, ME, and XP has TCP/IP installed and
set to obtain an IP address automatically.
