Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, configure
your computer to connect to your F5D6231-4 Wireless Gateway. 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.”
2. Double-click the “Network & Dial-Up Connections” icon.
3. Double-click the icon that corresponds to the connection to your F5D6231-4
Wireless Gateway.
4. Click “Properties.” After then, double-click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).”
5. All information you need to record is on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Properties” dialog box. Use the spaces below to record the information.
