Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Modem it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Modem. Following this example is a step- by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Modem.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP address from the Modem, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

 

 

 

If you are using this Modem to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can
