Configuring the TCP/IP Protocols
To connect the CPE to a computer through its Ethernet port, the
computer must have an Ethernet network adapter card installed, and be
configured for the TCP/IP protocol. Many service providers configure
TCP/IP for client computers automatically using a networking technology
known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Other service
providers may specify an IP configuration (known as a static IP address),
which must be entered manually.
Carry out the following steps to check that the computer's Ethernet port is
correctly configured for DHCP.

1. Click "Start/Settings/Control Panel."
2. Click the "Network" icon.
3. For Windows NT, click the "Protocols" tab.
4. Select "TCP/IP" from the list of network protocols; this may include
details of adapters installed in your computer.
5. Click "Properties."
6. Check the option "Obtain an IP Address."
