You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because
these steps and screenshots were created in Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium
Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start/Settings/Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, locate and double-click the Network icon.
3. On the Network window Configuration tab, double-click the TCP/IP entry for your network card.
4. Click the IP Address tab.
5. Click the “Obtain an IP address” option.
6. Next click on the Gateway tab and verify the Gateway field is blank. If there are IP addresses listed
in the Gateway section, highlight each one and click Remove until the section is empty.
7. Click the OK button to close the TCP/IP Properties window.
8. On the Network Properties Window, click the OK button to save these new settings. Note:
Windows may ask you for the original Windows installation disk or additional files. Check for the
files at c:\windows\options\cabs, or insert your Windows CD-ROM into your CDROM drive and
check the correct file location, e.g., D:\win98, D:\win9x. (if D: is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
9. Windows may prompt you to restart the PC. If so, click the Yes button. If Windows does not prompt
you to restart your computer, do so to insure your settings.
