Follow these instructions to install the TCP/IP Protocol on one of your PCs
only after a network card has been successfully installed inside the PC. These
instructions are for Windows 95, 98 or Milliennium. For TCP/IP setup under
Microsoft Windows NT or 2000, please refer to your Microsoft Windows NT
or 2000 manual.

1. Click the Start button. Choose Settings, then Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Network icon. Your Network window should pop up.

Select the Configuration tab.

3. Click the Add button.

4. Double-click Protocol.

5. Highlight Microsoft under the list of manufactures.

Installing the TCP/IP Protocol

2. Write down the web address returned by the ping command. (In the

example above: mail.msnv3.occa.home.com.) This web address is the web
address assigned to the IP address you just pinged. While the IP address
of “mail” could conceivably change, it is likely that this web address will
not.

3. Replace your ISP’s abbreviated server address with this extended web

address in the corresponding Internet application (web browser, e-mail
application, etc.).

Once you have replaced the brief server address with the true server address,
your Router should have no problem accessing the Internet through that
Internet application.
