8 Right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon on your
desktop then click Properties in the drop-down menu that
appears.
9 Double-click the entry in the "Configuration" menu named
"TCP/IP". This entry may be followed by an arrow and a
description of your NIC or dialup adapter.
10 Click the "Advanced" tab and then make sure the box next
to "Set this protocol to be the default protocol." is
checked. If it is not, click the box to put a check in it. (If this
option is grayed out, then TCP/IP is already the default
protocol.)
11 Click OK and then click OK again.
12 Reboot your PC by clicking Windows Start, clicking Shut
Down, clicking "Restart the computer?" and then clicking
Yes.
13 When your desktop reappears, click the Windows Start
button and then click Run.

field and click the OK button.
15 The "IP Configuration" window will appear. Click the
Release button. A line of zeros will appear in the "IP

Click OK and turn to the next chapter, "Hardware and
