CONFIRM YOUR PC’S IP CONFIGURATION
There are two tools which are great for finding out a computer’s IP
configuration: MAC address and default gateway.
WINIPCFG (for Windows 95/98)
Inside the windows 95/98 Start button, select Run and type winipcfg. In the
example below this computer has an IP address of
192.168.0.100 and the
default gateway is
192.168.0.1. The default gateway should be the network
device IP address. The MAC address in windows 95/98 is called the Adapter
Address.
NOTE:
You can also type
winipcfg
in the DOS command prompt.

Assigning a Static IP Address
Note:
Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP
Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable
Gateway/Router you will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign
a Static IP Address, please follow these instructions:
Go to
START
Double-click on
Control Panel
Double-click on
