Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME
You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version
of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots were created in
Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium Edition are very
similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices,
you need to configure the computer to connect to the Wireless Barricade.
You need to determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs
issue these numbers automatically using a networking technology known
as Dynamic Host Control 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.
