Configuring Your Computer In Windows 2000 - Siemens Gigaset Owner's Manual

Configuring Client TCP/IP

Configuring your Computer in Windows 2000

Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your computer to
connect to the Gigaset Router. You also need to determine how your ISP issues your IP
address. Many ISPs issue these addresses automatically, using a networking technology
known as Dynamic Host Configuration 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 con-
figure your computer.
