6. Now type in the IP address of your router in the New Gateway box and click on Add. (Home DSL users: use the Gateway IP address provided.)
Be sure to use the IP address of your router or gateway, not the one in this example!
7. You should now see your router's IP address (or your gateway) in the list of installed gateways.
8. Click on the DNS Configuration tab. Make sure DNS is enabled. Enter the name of your computer for Host. You can leave Domain blank, or you can enter your fully-qualified domain name (such as yourcompany.com or intranet.yourcompany.com). Enter 98.191.156.4 under DNS Server Search Order and click on Add.
9. Now enter 98.191.156.2 under DNS Server Search Order and click on Add. Click on OK to close the TCP/IP panel.
10. Click on OK again until you close the Network control panel.
If your current version of Windows did not come pre-installed on your system, you may be asked to insert your Windows installation CD. You may need to direct it to the drive letter of your CD drive. If it tells you that a file on your system is newer than the version on the CD, tell it to keep the version on your system.
11. You may need to restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

Do you want to restart your computer now?
