Network

I use my laptop at work and at home. Is there something special I need to do to make it work in both places?

Yes. You must reconfigure your network settings, including Workgroup, Domain, Password, User name, IP addressing, and any other specific settings used by your company. You may also use third-party software like NetSwitcher to automati- cally switch between different configurations.

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

The valid IP range for the Modem is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 by default.

How do I find out which 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 is displayed, type ipconfig and press Enter.
