Section 6:
Configuring Microsoft Windows
Now you will need to configure your computer’s TCP/IP settings so it can communicate with the DSL gateway. You may need to perform this configuration on each PC connected to the DSL service.
Configuration Steps for Windows 95/98/ME
1 Double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop or click on “Start,” go to “Settings” and select “Control Panel.”
NOTE to Windows ME users: After selecting “Control Panel,” click on “Show all Control Panels.”
2 Double-click on the “Network” icon.
3 You must determine if you have a TCP/IP “binding” associated with your Network Ethernet Adapter. It will be indicated by a “wire” with “TCP/IP -> Brand Name NIC” similar to what is highlighted in the image to the right. 3Com® is the “Brand Name” for this Network Ethernet Adapter. If this binding is already associated with your Network Ethernet Adapter, skip to step 8.
4 If there is no binding, you must add one. Click on “Add.”
