Windows 2000 and Windows XP automatically detects the Ethernet card in your system

Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.

IP address: 192.11.13.5
●
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252

6. Record any IP addresses or other entries that you must clear. You might need to restore
these later to connect to another network.
7. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. Leave the entries for Preferred DNS
server and Alternate DNS server blank.
8. At the bottom of the dialog box, click Advanced to display the Advanced TCP/IP Settings
dialog box.
9. Click the DNS tab. Ensure that no DNS server is administered. The address field is blank.

After you make these changes to the network configuration for your computer, the Network
and Dial-up Connections window shows the status of the Local Area Connection. The
system displays:
- Enabled when the Ethernet cable from the laptop is connected to the server.
