Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0
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. 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
Configuration Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address
and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is known as
a static or fixed 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” icon.
