Verifying TCP/IP Properties
After your PC is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP
configuration using the utility winipcfg.exe:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type
winipcfg
, and then click OK.
The IP Configuration window opens, which lists (among other things), your
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
3. From the drop-down box, select your Ethernet adapter.
The window is updated to show your settings, which should match the values
below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR
recommends for connecting through a router or gateway:
• The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
• The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• The default gateway is 192.168.0.1
Configuring Windows 2000 or XP for TCP/IP
Networking
As part of the PC preparation process, you may need to install and configure
TCP/IP on each networked PC. Before starting, locate your Windows CD; you
may need to insert it during the TCP/IP installation process.
Install or Verify Windows Networking Components
To install or verify the necessary components for IP networking:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then
click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network and Dialup Connections icon.
