Configuring Your Computer With Windows Nt 4.0 - SMC Networks SMC7004ABR Quick Installation Manual

Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0

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 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, which you
must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP
address determines how you will configure your computer.
Here is what to do:
1. From the Windows desktop click "Start," then
"Settings," and click "Control Panel."
2. Double-click the "Network" icon.
3. Select the "Protocols" tab.
4. Double-click "TCP/IP Protocol."
