3. Ethernet Installation

The LAN port you are using is auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps (Switch) Ethernet

Interface. You can use the Ethernet port to connect to the Internet with an

Ethernet network device such as NIC/Hub/Switch through RJ45.

Before you connect to and install the cable modem, please set the IP address

to "Obtain an IP address automatically" as below and do ensure the TCP/IP

protocol is installed on your system and configured correctly in your PC.

Following is an example of configuring the TCP/IP Protocol on Windows 98

Operating Systems:

1. Click StartSettingsControl Panel. Double click on the Network icon

click Properties.

2. A list of installed network components appears. Look for an entry named

TCP/IP. This entry may be followed by an arrow and a description of the

NIC hardware device installed in the computer. If you don't see "TCP/IP"

listed anywhere in the "The following network components are installed"

box, click the Add button, choose Protocol, and click the Add button.

Select "Microsoft" as the manufacturer and then scroll down in the list on

the right to find "TCP/IP". If you see "TCP/IP" listed, proceed to step 4.

3. Click the OK button. You will be prompted to insert the Windows 98

installation/upgrade CD.

4. Scroll down in the box until you find a line that says "TCP/IP -> " followed

by the name of your Ethernet adapter. Click on Properties and choose

"Obtain an address automatically" which means that your PC has been

configured to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

5. Click OK.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up your cable modem.
