Configuring Your Computer with Windows XP

Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your
computer to connect to your Barricade. You also need to determine how
your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers
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 the “start”
button. Choose “Control
Panel.”
