Configuring TCP/IP for Windows 2000
Please make sure you have your Windows 2000 installation disks or CD-ROM handy
before beginning. Windows 2000 may need to copy some driver information during the
configuration process. If your Ethernet card was supplied with a driver 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. Actiontec provides the information that follows as a
guideline only.
Windows 2000 installs with the default TCP/IP configuration. 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 Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
If your Windows 2000 TCP/IP settings have been changed since installation, please fol-
low the following directions. Also, make sure you have your Windows installation disks
or CD handy before beginning. If your Ethernet card was supplied with a driver
diskette, be sure to have that available as well. (Note that Windows 2000 includes built-
in drivers for some Ethernet cards)
Note: As with all software, you should consult your users manual or the help files
