Configuring your TCP/IP network connection
You must properly set up the TCP/IP control panel if your computer is
connected to a network that uses TCP/IP standards, such as the Internet.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of rules that
is applied to data sent and received on the Internet. The rules standardize
how data is communicated so that many different kinds of computers can
recognize it. TCP/IP protocols can be used with many different types of
network equipment and connections. If you don’t know whether your network
uses TCP/IP, contact your network administrator.
To set up your TCP/IP network connection, you must specify the port you use
to connect your computer to the network. TCP/IP networks also require
information about your computer’s network address. You must enter that
information in the TCP/IP control panel or specify a server on which the
information can be found. To get this information, check with your network
administrator or Internet service provider.
