"How to" Index

 


Use of the symbol >

Instead of saying "Click the 'Start' button, then click 'Settings,' then click 'Control Panel,'" etc., we will use the symbol > to abbreviate as follows:

Start > Settings > Control Panel ...

 

1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network > Configuration.

2. Look for the name of the ethernet card. It should appear twice, once by itself ("Ethernet Card Name") and once after the letters TCP/IP -> ("TCP/IP-> Ethernet Card Name")

If it is not listed at all, then go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add New Hardware and follow the directions

If it is listed by itself but not after TCP/IP, then:

Click the ethernet card name and then click "Add"
Click "Protocol" and then click "Add"
Click "Microsoft" on the left, and TCP/IP on the right

You should then be back at Network > Configuration with "TCP/IP -> Ethernet Card Name" included in the list

3. Click "TCP/IP -> Ethernet Card Name" and then "Properties"

4. Set the IP address to:

( ) Obtain an IP address automatically
(o) Specify an IP address
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

5. Set the Gateway to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Enter the numbers in "New Gateway" and then click "Add")

6. Set DNS Configuration to:

( ) Disable DNS
(o) Enable DNS
Host: xxxx
Domain: xxxx
DNS Server Search order: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

7. On the Binding Tab remove all the checked boxes. Click "OK." It will ask you if you want to select binding now; say 'NO'

8. Close all windows and reboot.
