Sharing the Connection
Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 95, 98, or NT computers
Configuring TCP/IP on a Windows computer requires the following:
■ An Ethernet card (also known as a network adapter)
■ The TCP/IP protocol must be “bound” to the adapter or card
New IP Address screen. If you want to change the router’s
IP address, you enter the new IP address, the subnet
mask, and the router’s serial number in this screen.
Remember, the serial number is on the bottom of the
router. It is also found in your documentation folio.
Note: Forcing a new IP address may turn off the Netopia
R3100’s IP address serving capabilities, if you assign an IP
address and subnet mask outside the router’s current IP
address serving pool. The Netopia R3100 does not allow
an invalid address to be served. Use this option with
caution.
When you have done this, click Next.
SmartStart forces the new IP address into the router, tests
the connection, and then resets the router.
SmartStart then returns you to the “Manual or Automated
Connection Profile screen” on page 3-6.
