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,

your IP address determines how you will configure your computer.
