Conguring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME

You may nd that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots were created from Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98.

Step 1. Congure TCP/IP Settings

After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, you need to congure 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 congure your computer.

1. From the Windows desktop, click the “Start” button. Choose “Settings,” then click “Control Panel.”

2. From “Control Panel,” double-click the “Network” icon.

3. In the “Network” window, under the “Conguration” tab, double-click the “TCP/IP” entry that is listed with your network card.

4. Select the “IP Address” tab. If “Obtain an IP address automatically” is already selected, your computer is already congured for DHCP. Click “Cancel” to close each window, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.”

5. Locate your IP address and Subnet Mask. Record them in the spaces provided below.

6. Click the “Gateway” tab and record the numbers listed under “Installed gateways.”

7. Click the “DNS Conguration” tab. Locate the DNS servers listed under “DNS Server Search Order.” Record the listed addresses.

8. After writing down your settings, check to make sure you have recorded them correctly. Click the “IP Address” tab and then click “Obtain an IP address automatically.” Click OK.

9. Windows may need your Windows 95/98/ME CD to copy some les. After it nishes copying, it will then prompt you to restart your system. Click “Yes” and your computer will shut down and restart.

Step 2. Disable HTTP Proxy

You will need to verify that the “HTTP Proxy” feature of your Web browser is disabled. This is so that your Web browser will be able to view the conguration pages inside your Barricade. The following steps are for Internet Explorer and for Netscape. Determine which browser you use and follow the appropriate steps.

Internet Explorer

1. Open Internet Explorer and click the stop button. Click “Tools,” then “Internet Options.”

2. In the “Internet Options” window click the “Connections” tab. Next, click the “LAN Settings…” button.

3. Clear all the checkboxes.

4. Click “OK,” and then click “OK” again to close the “Internet Options” window.

Netscape

1. Open Netscape and click the stop button. Click “Edit,” then click “Preferences…”

2. In the “Preferences” window, under “Category” double-click “Advanced,” then click “Proxies.” Select “Direct connection to the Internet.” Click “OK.”

3. Repeat these steps for each Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to your Barricade.

Step 3. Obtain IP Settings from Your Barricade

Now that you have congured your computer to connect to your Barricade, it needs to obtain new network settings. By releasing any old IP settings and renewing them with settings from your Barricade, you will also verify that you have congured your computer correctly.

1. Click “Start,” then “Run…”

2. Type “WINIPCFG” and click “OK.” It may take a minute or two for the “IP Conguration” window to appear.

3. From the drop-down menu, select your network card. Click “Release” and then “Renew.” Verify that your IP address is now

192.168.2.xxx, your Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and your Default Gateway is 192.168. 2.1. These values conrm that your Barricade is functioning. Click “OK” to close the “IP Conguration” window.

Step 1. Congure TCP/IP Settings

After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to congure your computer to connect to your Barricade. You also 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 congure your computer.

2. Double-click the “Network & Dial-Up Connections” icon.

3. Double-click the icon that corresponds to the connection to your Barricade.

4. Click “Properties.”

5. Double-click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).”

6. All the information that you need to record is on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” dialog box. Use the spaces below to record the information. If “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” are already selected, your computer is already congured for DHCP. Click “Cancel” to close each window, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.”

7. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and then select “Obtain DNS server address automatically.” Then click “OK.” Click “OK” or “Close” to close each window.
