Finding TCP/IP Settings on a Computer

appears.

into the dialog box and click OK. A command window
appears.
3. Type in:
ipconfig /all
and then press Enter.
The screen displays values for the computer’s IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, and DNS address. See the example on the next page.
Use the Subnet Mask number listed on the Subnet Mask screen in TCP/IP

Address screen. Use the DNS Server address (use the top DNS Server
address if more than one is shown) on the DNS (Domain Name Server)
Address screen.

3. The device connecting your computer to your home network should be
selected from the pull-down menu at the top of the screen. (It usually is
by default.) If a different device is selected, you may see incorrect IP
information. This screen shows the IP Address of the computer and a
DNS Server, as well as the network’s Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
information.
Use the Subnet Mask number listed on the Subnet Mask screen in TCP/IP
Settings. Use the Default Gateway number on the Gateway (Router)
Address screen. Use the DNS Server address on the DNS (Domain Name
Server) Address screen.
Remember, each device on a
network must have a unique IP address.
The numbers after the last period (‘.’) in
the IP address you assign to the TiVo
Series2 DVR must be different from the
last numbers in the IP address used by
the computer.
