Configuring Your Computer This Quick Installation Guide provides configuration instructions for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, and 2000 and for Macintosh OS 7.x. Please be sure that you are following the proper instruction set for your operating system. • Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME begins on this page. • Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000 begins on page 8. • Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0 begins on page 12. • Configuring Your Macintosh Computer begins on page 17. Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots were created from Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98. Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to your Rhine II. You need to determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you will configure your computer.
