Conguring Your Computer
with Windows 95/98/ME
You may nd 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. Congure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your
devices, you need to congure your computer to connect to your
Barricade. 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
congure your computer.

1. From the Windows desktop, click the
“Start” button. Choose “Settings,” then
click “Control Panel.”
2. From “Control Panel,”
double-click the “Network”
icon.
3. In the “Network” window, under the
“Conguration” tab, double-click the
“TCP/IP” entry that is listed with your
network card.

8
4. Select the “IP Address” tab.
If “Obtain an IP address automatically”
is already selected, your computer is
already congured for DHCP.
Click “Cancel” to close each window, and
skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.”
5. Locate your IP address and Subnet
Mask. Record them in the spaces
provided below.
6. Click the “Gateway” tab and record the
numbers listed under “Installed
gateways.”
7. Click the “DNS Conguration” tab.
Locate the DNS servers listed under
“DNS Server Search Order.” Record the
listed addresses.
8. After writing down your settings, check
to make sure you have recorded them
correctly. Click the “IP Address” tab and
then click “Obtain an IP address auto-
matically.” Click OK.
9. Windows may need your Windows
95/98/ME CD to copy some les. After it
nishes copying, it will then prompt
you to restart your system. Click “Yes”
and your computer will shut down and
restart.

Internet.” Click “OK.”
3. Repeat these steps for each Windows 95/98/Me computer
connected to your Barricade.
Now that you have congured your computer to connect to your
Barricade, it needs to obtain new network settings. By releasing any
old IP settings and renewing them with settings from your Barricade,
you will also verify that you have congured your computer correctly.
1. Click “Start,” then “Run…”
2. Type “WINIPCFG” and click “OK.” It may take a minute or two for
the “IP Conguration” window to appear.
3. From the drop-down menu, select your network card. Click
“Release” and then “Renew.” Verify that your IP address is now
192.168.2.xxx, your Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and your Default
Gateway is 192.168. 2.1. These values conrm that your Barricade is
functioning. Click “OK” to close the
“IP Conguration” window.

record the information. If “Obtain an IP address automatically” and
“Obtain DNS server address automatically” are already selected, your
computer is already congured for DHCP. Click “Cancel” to close each
window, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.”
7. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and then select “Obtain
DNS server address automatically.” Then click “OK.” Click “OK” or
“Close” to close each window.
