Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure
your computer to connect to your Wireless Barricade Plus. You also need
to determine how your ISP issues your IP address. 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."
