Verified that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on all computers in your network. (If you need to install 
TCP/IP, refer to your system documentation or Windows Help.)

You can now easily configure the SpeedStream router from the convenient Web-based management 
interface. From your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 4.0 or

windows to monitor network conditions, and control the router and its ports.
