Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window is displayed.

address, the subnet mask and the IP address of the default gateway respectively.

The Alternate DNS text box is optional.

then click Next. The Forwarders window is displayed.

IP addresses.

ISP or central office.

servers use, and click Next.
