Windows 2000/XP - TCP/IP Setup – DSL

Before You Start:

Windows 2000 installs with the default TCP/IP configuration for the Bayou Internet service. If you have a new machine with Windows 2000, or have just installed the Operating System, you simply need to connect your machine to your cable modem.

If your Windows 2000 TCP/IP settings have been changed since installation, please follow the directions below. Also, make sure you have your Windows installation disks or CD handy before beginning. If your Ethernet card was supplied with a drivers diskette, be sure to have that available as well.

Note: As with all software, you should consult your users manual or the help files for detailed information.

To configure TCP/IP for Windows 2000:

1. Select Settings from the Start menu, and then select Control Panels.

2. Select the Network and Dial-up Connections icon, and double-click to open the window.

3. If the Ethernet card in your computer is correctly installed, the Local Area Connection icon will be present. Double-click the icon.

4. Click the Properties button in the Local Area Connection Status window.

   

5. Under Connect using:, the Ethernet card that the Local Area Connection status in question is pointing to is displayed. Underneath, the components that are bound to the card are shown, with a checkbox next to them if they are currently active. Verify that there is a check next to TCP/IP; place one there if there is not. Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) option, and click the Properties button.

   

6. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window will open. There is only one tab, General. For the Road Runner service to work correctly, the configuration should appear as it does in the image below. Use the following IP address 192.168.0.2 should be selected in the first section, and Use the following DNS server address 209.209.192.10 for the prefered and for the secondary 209.209.192.20.
