Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure
your computer to connect to your Barricade. You also need to
determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these
numbers automatically, using a networking technology known as
Dynamic Host Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify
your IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter
manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP
assigns your IP address determines how you will configure your
computer.
Here is what to do:
1. From the Windows
desktop, click the "Start"
button. Choose
"Settings," then click
"Control Panel."
