3-2 Preparing Your Computer
In most cases, you should install TCP/IP so that the computer obtains its specific network
configuration information automatically from a DHCP server during bootup.
The Model DM602 modem is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The modem assigns the
following TCP/IP configuration information for one computer only automatically when your
computer is rebooted:
• Computer IP addresses—192.168.0.2
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
• Gateway address (the modem)—192.168.0.1
Configuring Windows 95, 98, and ME for TCP/IP Networking
As part of the PC preparation process, if TCP/IP is not already installed, you need to manually
install and configure TCP/IP on your computer. Before starting, locate your Windows CD; you
may need to insert it during the TCP/IP installation process.

1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
