I used DHCP to configure my network. Do I need to restart my computer to
refresh my IP address?
No. Follow these steps to refresh your IP address:
Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me - Select Start, Run, type "winipcfg," and press
Enter. Ensure the Ethernet adapter is selected in the device box. Press the
Release_all button, then press the Renew_all button.
Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 - Select Start, Run, type "cmd," and press Enter. At the
DOS prompt, type "ipconfig /release," then type "ipconfig /renew."
Windows XP - Unplug the Ethernet cable or wireless card and plug it back in.
Can I run an application located on another computer over the network?
Yes, if the application is designed to run over a network.
Can I play games between computers on my network, or on the Internet?
Yes, if the games were designed for multi-player or play. For specific infor-
LAN
mation about whether a game is capable of Internet or play, refer to the
LAN

games over the Internet.
I have an FTP or Web server on my network. How can I make it available to
users on the Internet?
For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 8088 to the address of the
IP
server and set up the Web server to receive on that port, as well. (Configuring
the server to use a static address is recommended.)

For an server, enable port forwarding for port 21 to the address of the

decrease the available speed for each computer.
