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 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 configure your computer.

Here is what to do:
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 “Configuration” tab,
double-click the “TCP/IP” entry that is listed with your
network card.

Page 5
4. Select the “IP Address” tab.
If “Obtain an IP address automatically” is already selected, your
computer is already configured 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 Configuration” 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 automatically.” Click OK.
9. Windows may need your Windows 95/98/ME CD to copy
some files. After it finishes copying, it will then prompt
you to restart your system. Click “Yes” and your computer
will shut down and restart.

new network settings. By releasing any old IP settings and renewing them with settings from
your Barricade, you will also verify that you have configured your computer correctly.
1. Click “Start,” then “Run…”
2. Type “WINIPCFG” and click “OK.” It may take a minute
or two for the “IP Configuration” window to appear.
