Conguring Your Computer
with Windows 95/98/ME
You may nd that the instructions here do not exactly match your
version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots
were created from Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows
Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.
Step 1. Congure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your
devices, you need to congure your computer to connect to your
Barricade. You need to determine how your ISP issues your IP
address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using a
networking technology known as Dynamic Host Control 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
congure your computer.
