After your PC is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration using the utility winipcfg.exe:

1.On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.

2.Type "winipcfg", and then click OK.

The winipcfg program lists (among other things), your IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

3.From the drop-down box, select your Ethernet adapter.

The window is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that FREECOM recom- mends:

The IP address is between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254

The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

The default gateway is 192.168.1.1

2.3Configuring Windows XP, NT or 2000 to work with the FSG-3

To be able to use your network and your FSG-3, you might need to install TCP/ IP manually and configure TCP/IP on each networked computer. Before starting, locate your Windows CD; you may need to insert it during the TCP/IP installation process.
