Step 3: Prepare the Administrative Computer
NOTE: The following procedure is applicable if the administrative computer is
running Windows XP or Windows 2000. If you are using a different operating system,
refer to the documentation that was shipped with your operating system for
information on how to modify the computer’s IP address settings.
1. On your Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer, open the Network Connec-
tions (or Network and Dial-up Connections) control panel according to how the
Start menu is set up:
• On Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
• On Windows 2000, click Start > Settings > Network Connections.
2. When the Network Connections window appears, right-click the icon for Local
Area Connection, and then click Properties.
NOTE: Make sure that you configure the Local Area Connection properties, not the
Wireless Network Connection properties.
3. When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears, select Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scrolling list, and then click Properties. The Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.
4. Write down all of the currently active network settings. You will need this informa-
tion later when you restore your computer to its current network configuration.
