Preparing the Network Control Panel
You need to configure the Network option of the Control Panel with the required
information for your network. Refer to Windows NT Help and documentation or
commercial publications such as Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit if you need
technical information about setting the Network options.
For the TCP/IP Protocol option, you need to set the following information:
• IP address
• DNS
• WINS address
• Routing
Testing TCP/IP
Before installing Site Manager, send a ping request to the router to make sure your
computer’s TCP/IP function is running.
1.
From the Start Menu, choose Programs > MS-DOS Prompt.
2.
Enter the following command to ping your router:
ping
<ip_address>
<ip_address> is the IP address of your router.
Messages appear at the prompt indicating whether replies were received.
Replies verify that your Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack is functional.
