Configuring Your Computer in Windows 95/98/Millennium Edition
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 Me 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 Configuration
Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and
associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also
