Configuring TCP/IP 5-25

Static configuration (optional)

If you are manually configuring from 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 (shown at right), 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

Your ISP or network administrator may ask you to use a different IP address and subnet mask.

3.Click on the Gateway tab (shown at right). Under New gateway, enter 192.168.1.1. Click Add. This is the address that is assigned to the Netopia R910.

4.Click on the DNS Configuration tab. Click “Enable DNS.” Enter the following information:

Host: Type the name you want to give to this computer.

Domain: Type your domain name. If you don't have a domain name, type your ISP's domain name; for example, netopia.com.

DNS Server Search Order: Type the primary DNS IP address given to you by your ISP. Click Add. Repeat this process for the secondary DNS.

Domain Suffix Search Order: Enter the same domain name you entered above.

5.Click OK in this window, and the next window. When prompted, reboot the computer.
