3.6.2Configuration Information
If your ISP does not dynamically assign configuration information but instead uses fixed configurations, you will need the following basic information from your ISP:
-An IP address and subnet mask
-A gateway IP address
-One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses
Depending on your ISP, a host name and domain suffix may also be provided. If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your BiGuard 50G will automatically acquire them.
If an ISP technician configured your computer or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy the configuration information from your PC’s Network TCP/IP Properties window before reconfiguring your computer for use with BiGuard 50G. The following sections describe how you can obtain this information.
3.6.2.1Windows
This section uses illustrations from Windows XP. However, other versions of Windows will follow a similar procedure. Have your Windows CD handy, as it may be required during the configuration process.
