After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade. First determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP.) Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you need to configure your computer. See this section for Windows 95/98/Me configuration. See “Windows NT 4.0” on page
