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”
page 30. For a Macintosh or UNIX system, refer to your user guide.
To check the IP address:
1
On the Windows Desktop, click Start.
2
Select Run. The Run window is displayed.
3
Type cmd and click OK. A window like the one at upper left is displayed.
4
Type ipconfig and press
ENTER
to display your IP configuration. A display, like the
window at upper left, indicates a normal configuration.
If an Autoconfiguration IP Address is displayed as in the window at bottom left, there
is an incorrect connection between your PC and the cable modem 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 renew
your IP address.
