FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions/Network settings

I have got cable and admin's agreement, how do I configure my computer for working on the internet?

We assume usage of MS Windows. In network properties you support of protocol TCP/IP. In properties of protocol TCP/IP you set on tab IP address the following option: Get address from server DHCP and then restart your system. This way your computer sets automatically its IP address. Keep on mind, that update on DNS and DHCP servers is ongoing once a day. This implies that after registration of new PC at admin you will get connected on the next day. After reset run the winipcfg (for W9x) program -- where you issue commands Refresh and than Details. In Windows 2000 it is the ipconfig with certain parameters. If you see, that no parameters are missing and your IP address is in form 147.32.*.*. If after Refresh computer the computer freezed for a few minutes and than written an error message saying that computer cannot connecto to DHCP or gathered incorrect address (e.g. 169...), than find your televizor and ask for an IP address. Than you should set this IP address manually.
