Connecting to a DSL or Cable Modem

When you use a DSL or Cable modem, you are connecting to your service provider’s network. These networks can be set up by the provider to communicate with your computer using either "dynamic" or "static" addressing. To configure your computer, you will need to know which of these methods is to be used. If your provider intends for you to use "static" addressing, they should have provided you with several Internet addresses (labeled "IP address", "Net Mask", and one or more "DNS addresses"), each of which looks similar to the following: 192.168.0.1. If you did not receive numbers such as this in the paperwork or documentation accompanying your modem, your provider likely intends to use "dynamic" addressing.

Using static addressing

To access the Internet using static addressing, configure the network settings for your computer as follows:

1.Open the Control Panel: click on the Start button, click on Settings, and choose Control Panel from the menu that pops out.

2.Double-click on the Network icon in control panel to open the Network window.
