Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to
configure your computer to connect to your Barricade. 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.
Here is what to do:
1. From the Windows desktop click "Start," then "Settings," and
click "Control Panel."
2. Double-click the "Network" icon.

3. Select the "Protocols" tab.
4. Double-click "TCP/IP Protocol."
5. Select the "IP Address" tab.
6. In the "Adapter" drop-down list, be sure your Ethernet adapter
is selected.
If "Obtain an IP address automatically" is already selected, your
computer is already configured for DHCP. Click "Cancel" to close
each window, and skip to Step 2. Disable HTTP Proxy.
