Configuring Client TCP/IP

Configuring your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME

You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows.
This is because these steps and screenshots were created in Windows 98. Windows 95
and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, you need to
configure the computer to connect to the Gigaset Router. 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.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start - Settings - Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
