Configuring the TCP/IP Protocol on a Windows PC

If you have a PC running Windows 95 or later, you need to make sure the TCP/IP communications protocol is installed on your system before you install your cable modem. The listing of actual components installed on your PC depends on the hardware installed in your computer. The installation example in this guide assumes a 3Com EtherLink® III 3C509B-TPO NIC has been installed and the screen images shown below reflect this hardware configuration. Other networking cards will work but the screen images will look somewhat different.
