hardware to connect with the BT Inspiration Advantage +.

To connect with the BT Inspiration Advantage +,
a computer must have:
• A 10BASE-T Ethernet network interface card, properly
installed. Consult the documentation that came with your
card for instructions on how to do this.
• The card must be configured to use the TCP/IP protocol and
the TCP/IP protocol must be set to use its default values.
Specifically, it must be a DHCP client (obtain IP address
automatically) and not be configured to use a DNS server.
To adjust these settings in Windows 95/98, use the Network
program in Control Panel. If you do not know how to check
these settings, the Modem Monitor program that is part of
the BT Inspiration Advantage + package will verify these
settings for you. Modem Monitor is installed in Section 4.
To configure the BT Inspiration Advantage +,
a computer must have:
• Web browser (Netscape 3.01 or later, or Internet Explorer 4
or later). Internet Explorer is included on the BT Inspiration
Advantage + CD for computers running Windows 95/98/
NT4. (NT 4 requires Service Pack 3 or higher. Both are
available on the BT Inspiration Advantage + CD.)
Note: Make sure your browser is not configured to use a
Proxy Server or a dial-up connection.
