Open Program Manager.
Open the Main program group.
Double click on the Control Panel Icon.
From the Control Panel window double click on the Network Icon.
The Network Settings window displays. This is where we will begin to configure the TCP/IP Stack.
The first thing that we must do is find the TCP/IP Protocol entry in the Installed Network Software dialog box. (If this entry does not exist, you may have to add it by selecting the Add Software option.)
Highlight the TCP/IP Protocol Entry and click on the Configure button.
The TCP/IP Configuration window displays.
We must enter the IP address, the Subnet Mask, and the Default Gateway.
In the IP Address box enter your assigned CIDR network number (a.b.c.x) where x is an UNUSED host IP address. (Keep in mind that the router has already been assigned the .1 host IP address).
For example: 38.254.100.2
The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 for an unsubnetted Class C network.
Enter the IP address of your router in the Default Gateway box (a.b.c.1).
For example: 38.254.100.1
If you are not using the Windows NT WINS service, leave the WINS information blank.
Next we must configure the DNS name resolution. Click on the DNS button to display the DNS
Configuration window.
Enter the host name of the machine in the Host Name box. (This is an arbitrary name chosen by you to refer to this machine).
First choose the two closest resolvers from the DNS Name Resolvers.
Next add the IP addresses of the DNS resolvers. Enter the first IP address in the left side box then click on the Add button.
This adds the Resolver to the Domain Name Service (DNS) Search Order box.
We must repeat this process for the other Name Resolver. When complete, the information should look similar to the example shown below.
After you select OK you return to the TCP/IP Configuration Screen.
Select OK again. You will be prompted to to reboot the machine.
TCP/IP should be enabled after the reboot.
