3.1 About TCP/IP

To gain high-speed and shared access to the Wide Area Network (WAN), your
Local Area Network (LAN) needs to be configured for the modem. Each network
node on your LAN must install a network protocol so that they can communicate
with the modem. The modem requires the TCP/IP network protocol. The TCP/IP
Properties window in Windows® 95/98/2000 or NT 4.0 connects the node’s
Ethernet information to the network’s protocol data. Make sure that each network
node on your LAN has TCP/IP available. To ensure smooth setup, you must
install the TCP/IP network protocol on the PCs before you install the modem.
Note: We have already configured your NetDSL prior to shipping. The NetDSL
is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
