* If a dialog box appears titled "Network Protocol Connection Result", click the "Accept" to connect. If you
want to avoid this step in the future you will need to disable the IPX/SPX protocol. To disable NetBEUI &
IPX/SPX protocol on a Windows XP system, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the shortcut " Shortcut to USB_ADSL " on the desktop.
2. Click "Properties"
3. Choose "Networking" on the top.
4. Click the option box "NwLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol" so that it is empty, that is,
so there is not a check mark in the box.
Connect with LAN Driver
If your ADSL connection uses the RFC1483 protocol, TCP/IP settings must be configured in your system in
order to connect to your service provider's network (and ultimately connect to the Internet).
Your ADSL service provider or ISP should give the following information to you:
∙
IP Address
∙
Subnet Mask
∙
Gateway IP Address
∙
DNS Host Name
∙
DNS Domain Name
∙
DNS Server IP Address
Use the information to configure the Modem. Follow the instructions for your operating system.
IP Address Assignment
IP addresses are 32-bit numbers (in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 that uniquely
identify every location on the Internet. In order to communicate with sites on the Internet, your PC must be
assigned a unique IP address.
If your ADSL service provider or ISP uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your computer
can be assigned an IP address automatically. Checking the Obtain an IP address automatically box will
enable your PC to receive an IP address automatically from your service provider through DHCP. This is often
referred to as a "dynamic" IP address because it can change over time.
If your ADSL service provider or ISP does not use DHCP, you must manually enter your PC's IP address.
Your service provider supplies this address. Check the Use the following IP address box and enter the IP
address of the DNS server in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (as an example, 172.19.10.91). This is often referred to
as a "static" IP address because it will not change over time.
Subnet Mask
This is a bit mask that determines the extent of the subnet that the PC is on. It is used in combination with an IP
address to define areas of the local network that are logically separated from the rest of the network (subnets). It
is in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a
Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
It is recommended that you accept the default Subnet Mask suggested by Windows that corresponds to the class
