Configuring Your Computer in Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your
computer to connect to the Wireless Barricade. You also need to
determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these
addresses 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 “Start/
Settings/Control Panel.”
2. Double-click the
“Network and Dial-up
Connections” icon.
