Chapter 3

Preparing Your Computer

This chapter describes how to prepare your computer to connect to the Internet through the Model

DM602 ADSL Modem

and how to verify the readiness of a DSL modem account from an Internet

service provider (ISP).

Preparing Your Computer for TCP/IP Networking

Computers access the Internet using a protocol called Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP). Your computer must have TCP/IP installed and selected as its networking

protocol. If an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) is already installed in your computer, then

TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.

Most operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/IP:

•

Windows

®

95 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network.

•

Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/

IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon.

•

Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a

TCP/IP network.

•

All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions provided

with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer.

Note:

If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a DSL modem,

or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to copy

the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your modem. Write

down this information before reconfiguring your computer.
