applicable Ethernet adapter (usually it is the first Local Area Connection listed). Double-click on Local Area Connection and click on Properties.

3.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties.

4.Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click on OK on the subsequent screens to com- plete the PC’s configuration.

5.Restart your computer.

In step 3, you will configure each of your computers to communicate with the SANTIS ADSL Router-modem.

To do this, you will need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP address automatically. Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network or the Internet.

Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 98 SE, Millennium, 2000 or XP. You will need to know which operating system your computer is running. You can find out by clicking on Start --> Settings. (If your Start menu doesn’t have a Settings option, you are running Windows XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start Menu.) Then, click on Control Panel and double-click on the System icon. Click the Cancel button when done.

Once you know which Windows operating system you are running, follow the directions in this step for your computer’s operating system. You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the router.

The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your TCP/IP settings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once you’ve configured your compu- ters, continue with step 4, Configure the ADSL Router-modem.
