to the documentation that was shipped with your operating system for information
on how to modify the computer's IP address settings.
1. On your Windows XP or Windows 7 computer, open the Network Connections
(or Network and Dial-up Connections) control panel according to how the Start
menu is set up:
• On Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
• On Windows 7, click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet >
Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.
2. When the Network Connections window appears, right-click the icon for Local
Area Connection, and then click Properties.
NOTE: Make sure that you configure the Local Area Connection properties, not the
Wireless Network Connection properties.

Protocol (TCP/IP) (TCP/IPv4 in Windows 7) from the scrolling list, and then click
Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.

tion later when you restore your computer to its current network configuration.
