What is the valid IP range I can use for my home network?

The valid IP range for the Modem is 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.254 by default.

How do I find out what IP address my computer is using?

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me - Select Start, Run, and type “winipcfg.” Press Enter. When the “Winipcfg” window appears, ensure your network device is selected.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP - Select Start, Run and type “cmd.” Press Enter. When the command screen appears, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.

I used DHCP to configure my network. Do I need to restart my computer to refresh my IP address?

No. Follow these steps to refresh your IP address:

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me - Select Start, Run, type “winipcfg,” and press Enter. Ensure the Ethernet adapter is selected in the device box. Press the Release_all button, then press the Renew_all button.

Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 - Select Start, Run, type “cmd,” and press Enter. At the DOS prompt, type “ipconfig /release,” then type “ipconfig /renew.”

Windows XP - Unplug the Ethernet cable and plug it back in.

Can I run an application located on another computer over the network?

Yes, if the application is designed to run over a network.

Can I play games between computers on my network, or on the Internet?

Yes, if the games were designed for multi-player or LAN play. For specific infor- mation about whether a game is capable of Internet or LAN play, refer to the game documentation. Some games require ports to be forwarded to host or join games over the Internet.
