Sharing the Connection
Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 95, 98, or NT computers
Configuring TCP/IP on a Windows computer requires the following:
■ An Ethernet card (also known as a network adapter)
■ The TCP/IP protocol must be “bound” to the adapter or card
New IP Address screen. If you want to change the
router’s IP address, you enter the new IP address, the
subnet mask, and the router’s serial number in this
screen. Remember, the serial number is on the bottom of
the router. It is also found in your documentation folio.
Note: Forcing a new IP address may turn off the Netopia
R2121’s IP address ser ving capabilities, if you assign an
IP address and subnet mask outside the router’s current
IP address ser ving pool. The Netopia R2121 does not
allow an invalid address to be ser ved. Use this option
with caution.
When you have done this, click Next.
Smar tStar t forces the new IP address into the router,
tests the connection, and then resets the router.
Smar tStar t then returns you to the “Manual or Automated
Connection Profile screen” on page 3-5 .
