GB
This appendix provides a description of how to prepare your computer network for connecting with the FSG and the Internet.
Preparing the computer for connection to the FSG
To connect to the FSG, you have to install TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) on each of your network computers and select the required network protocol. If a network interface card (NIC) is already installed on your PC, then TCP/IP is probably also already installed.
Configuring Windows 98 SE and Windows Me to work with the FSG
To use your network and FSG, you will need to manually install TCP/IP and configure it on each computer in the network. Have your Windows CD handy before you begin as you may need it when installing TCP/IP.
Installing the required network components
To install or scan for the components required for IP network operation:
1.Click 'Start' - 'Settings' - 'Control Panel' on your Windows taskbar.
