Windows 2000: Select Start >> Settings >> Network and Dial-up Connections.

2.Windows 95/98: Double-click the Network icon.

Windows 2000: Double-click the Local Area Connection icon.

Windows NT: Double-click the Network icon, then click the Protocols tab.

3.TCP/IP should be listed as an installed network component. The TCP/IP entry may also include a description of the NIC hardware installed in your computer. If TCP/IP is not listed, you must install TCP/IP protocol on your computer. For installation instructions specific to your operating system, refer to the Help files on your computer. After installing the TCP/IP protocol, continue with step 4.
