Configuring Your Computer in Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your
computer to connect to the Barricade. You also need to determine how
your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these addresses
automatically, using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address
and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also
known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP address
determines how you will configure your computer.
Here is what to do:
1. From the Windows
desktop, click “Start/
Settings/Control Panel.”
2. Double-click the
“Network and Dial-up
Connections” icon.
