Configuring the "Network" in Control Panel

The "Network" Control Panel controls the way your computer accesses a network (i.e. using a Network card or modem).
NOTE: You may need to have your Windows setup disks or CD-ROM available.

• Open the "Control Panel" folder (Start, Settings, Control Panel).
• Double-click on the "Network" icon.
• Verify the three (3) components below are installed:
  1. Client For Microsoft Networks (to install click Add, Client, Microsoft)
  2. Dial-Up Adapter (to install click Add, Adapter, Microsoft)
  3. TCP/IP (to install click Add, Protocol, Microsoft)

     Note: If your computer is not connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) and you will only be using a Dial-up connection to the Internet, then the components listed above are the only ones you need and you can remove all other components. If you have any questions about this, feel free to call our Technical Support.

• The "Primary Network Logon" can be set to Windows Logon.

  

• Click on "TCP/IP" and then select "Properties". Next, select the following tabs and ensure that the settings match appropriately:
  • IP Address: Obtain IP Address Automatically
  • Wins Configuration: Disable WINS Resolution
