Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000
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 also 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 the "Start" button. Choose
"Settings," then click "Network and Dial-Up Connections" icon.
2. Double-click the icon that corresponds to the connection to
your Barricade.

3. Click "Properties."
4. Double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
"
5. All the information that you need to record is on the "Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" dialog box. Use the spaces below
to record the information.
If "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server
address automatically" are already selected, your computer is
already configured for DHCP. Click "Cancel" to close each window,
and skip to to Step 2. Disable HTTP Proxy.
