2. CONFIGURING YOUR COMPUTER

Before you can use your BritePort, you need to configure your computer properly to reflect the
networking environment set by your DSL Service Provider. This chapter provides you with
instructions on how to configure your BritePort network and how to configure your Internet setting
using Broadband Blaster User Interface.

❑

In Windows 98 and Windows Me

❑

In Windows 2000

❑

In Windows XP

❑

Broadband Blaster User Interface

Before you begin configuring your computer, ensure that:

1.

Your DSL service provider has provided you the IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address, and
DNS address. However, if your service provider uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (or
Dynamic IP address), you will not be provided with any such information.

2.

To configure the computer connected to the Ethernet port of BritePort 8012-V1, ensure that your
computer has a Network Interface Card (NIC) and it is functioning properly.
