Verifying the IP Address in Windows 2000 or XP

The following instructions are for Windows 2000 or Windows XP. For information about Windows 95, 98, or Me, see “Verifying the IP Address in Windows 95, 98, or Me” on page 40. For a Macintosh or UNIX system, refer to your user guide.

To check the IP address:

1On the Windows Desktop, click Start.

2Select Run. The Run window is displayed.

3Type cmd and click OK. A window like the one at upper left is displayed.

4Type ipconfig and press ENTER to display your IP configuration. A display similar to the window at middle left indicates a normal configuration.

If an Autoconfiguration IP Address is displayed, as shown in the window at bottom left, there is an incorrect connection between your PC and the Communications Gateway or there are cable network problems. Check:

■Your cable connections

■Whether you can see cable-TV channels on your television

After verifying your cable connections and proper cable-TV operation, you can attempt to renew your IP address.
