Verifying the IP Address in Windows 2000
or XP
The following instructions are for Windows 2000 or Windows XP. For information about
Windows 95, 98, or Me, see
“Verifying the IP Address in Windows 95, 98, or Me” on
page 40. For a Macintosh or UNIX system, refer to your user guide.
To check the IP address:
1 On the Windows Desktop, click Start.
2 Select Run. The Run window is displayed.
3 Type cmd and click OK. A window like the one at upper left is displayed.
4 Type ipconfig and press ENTER to display your IP configuration. A display similar to
the window at middle left indicates a normal configuration.
If an Autoconfiguration IP Address is displayed, as shown in the window at bottom
left, there is an incorrect connection between your PC and the Communications
Gateway or there are cable network problems. Check:
■ Your cable connections
■ Whether you can see cable-TV channels on your television
After verifying your cable connections and proper cable-TV operation, you can attempt to
renew your IP address.
