4.3 | Configuring Windows XP

The following instructions assume you are running Windows XP with the default interface. If
you are using the Classic interface (where the icons and menus look like previous Windows

versions), please follow the instructions for Windows 2000 outlined above.

1. Access your Network settings by

clicking [Start], choose [Control

Panel], select [Network and Internet
Connections] and then click on the

[Network Connections] icon.

2. Locate and double-click the Local

Area Connection icon for the Ethernet

adapter that is connected to the
Wireless Cable Modem Gateway. Next,

click the [Properties] button.

3. On the [Local Area Connection]

Properties box, verify the box next to

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked.
Then highlight the Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP), and click the Properties
button.

4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically to configure your computer for DHCP. Click

the [OK] button to save this change and close the Properties window.

5. Click the [OK] button again to save these new changes.

6. Reboot your PC.


4.4 | Configuring a Macintosh Computer


You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match the screens you see, this is

because these steps were created using Mac OS 8.5. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar,
but may not be identical to Mac OS 8.5.

1. Pull down the Apple Menu. Click [Control Panel] and select TCP/IP.

2. In the TCP/IP dialog box, make sure that [Ethernet] is selected in the [Connect Via:]

field.


If [Using DHCP Server] is already selected in the [Configure] field, your computer is

already configured for DHCP. Close the TCP/IP dialog box, and skip to Step 2 Disable
HTTP Proxy (bottom of this page).

3. All the information that you need to record is on the [TCP/IP] dialog box. Use the space

below to record the information.

4. Select [Using DHCP Server] in the [Configure] field and close the window.

5. Another box will appear asking whether you want to save your TCP/IP settings. Click

[Save].
