Sharing the Connection 4-3
Static configuration (optional)
If you are manually configuring for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following:
1. Go to Start Menu/Settings/Control Panels and double click the Network icon. From the Network
components list, select the Configuration tab.
2. Select TCP/IP-->Your Network Card. Then select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties screen, select the
IP Address tab. Click “Specify an IP Address.”
Enter the following:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
This address is an example of one that can be used to configure the router. Your ISP or network
administrator may ask you to use a different IP address and subnet mask.
