Windows ME (Millennium Edition) - TCP/IP Setup – Dial Up

Before You Start:

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

If your Windows ME TCP/IP settings have been changed since installation, 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:

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

2. Double-click the Network icon.

3. In the Network window, select the instance of TCP/IP that is linked to your Dial Up Adapter, and click the Properties button.

   

4. The TCP/IP Properties window will open. The first tab, IP Address, will display. Verify that the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button is selected. Also, at the bottom of the screen, verify that the Detect connection to network media radio button is selected as well.

   

5. Click the WINS Configuration tab. Make sure that the Disable WINS Resolution button is selected.

   

6. Click the Gateway tab. There should be no entries listed under Installed gateways. If an entry exists, highlight it and click the Remove button.

   

7. Click the DNS Configuration tab. Make sure that the Enable DNS (209.209.192.10: 209.209.192.20) radio button is selected.

   

8. Click the OK button to finish.
