How Do I Configure TCP/IP Protocol?

To configure TCP/IP protocol, you need to have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) with TCP/IP communications protocol installed on your system. TCP/IP is a communications protocol used to access the Internet. This section contains instructions for configuring TCP/IP on your Internet devices to operate with the cable modem gateway in either a Windows or Macintosh environment.

Configuring TCP/IP on Your Internet Devices

TCP/IP protocol in a Windows environment is different for each Windows version.

Follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system.

To configure Windows 95/98/98SE/ME systems

1.Click Start, select Settings, and choose Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.

3.Read the list of installed network components under the Configuration tab to verify that your PC contains the TCP/IP protocol.

4.Is TCP/IP protocol listed in the installed network components list?

•If yes, go to step 7.

•If no, click Add, click Protocol, click Add, and then go to step 5.

5.Click Microsoft in the Manufacturers list.

6.Click TCP/IP in the Network Protocols list, and then click OK.

7.Click the TCP/IP Ethernet Adapter protocol, and then choose Properties.

8.Click the IP Address tab, and then select Obtain an IP address automatically.

9.Click the Gateway tab and verify that these fields are empty. If they are not empty, highlight and delete all information from the fields.

10.Click the DNS Configuration tab, and then select Disable DNS.

11.Click OK.

12.Click OK when the system finishes copying the files, and then close all networking windows.

13.Click YES to restart your computer when the System Settings Change dialog box opens. The computer restarts. The TCP/IP protocol is now configured on your PC and your Ethernet devices are ready for use.

14.Try to access the Internet. If you cannot access the Internet, go to How Do I Troubleshoot My Internet Service Installation?, later in this guide. If you still cannot access the Internet, contact your cable service provider for further assistance.
