Step 1
|
|
Make sure that your DSL provider gives you static IP address
After your ISP provider established the DSL service at your location, they should give you the IP address information.
Make sure you get:
IP address
IP address mask
DNS
Gateway
In this example, we had to ask and hand-wrote the DNS settings (there are 2 settings for the DNS)
|
|
|
Step 2
|
|
There are 2 kind of static IP address (sneaky)
1. You will get 5 static IP for example, but you cannot assign a fix IP to a PC. The DSL router will only randomly assign those 5 static IP to you as it please
2. FIX-FIX IP address -the kind that you can assign to each PC
(GET THIS ONE)
Make sure they are publicly-pingable

Step 3

Now we need to goto [Control Panel]
Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel
|
|
|
Step 4
|
|
Double [Network icon] to enter network setup menu
Highlight your network card pointed by TCP/IP
Then click [Property]
In this example, our network card is Intel Pro/100
|
|
|
Step 5
|
|
Once we enter the TCP/IP menu, click the [IP address] tab on the top
If you have a Static IP, then enter here
|
|
|
Step 6
|
|
click the [Gateway] tab to enter the Gateway info
After enter the gateway IP, click [Add] to actually add the IP to the system
|
|
|
Step 7
|
|
Click [DNS Configuration] tab to enter the 2 DNS address.
click [enable DNS] then type in any name for Host.
Enter your DNS one by one into the [DNS Server Search order] then click [Add] to add
After entering 2 DNS numbers, then click [OK] to exit
