Setting TCP/IP Properties

You need to specify the settings for TCP/IP.

(Note: If you have more than one dial-up connection, for example if you dial up both to M.U.M. and to another Internet Service Provider, you should change the TCP/IP settings at the specific connection icon, not from the Network dialog box. First create the Dial-Up Connection (see the next section), then right-click the connection icon and choose Properties. On the Server Types tab, click TCP/IP.)

1. From the previous procedure, the Network dialog box should be open. If not, open it by choosing Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-clicking the Network icon.
2. Click TCP/IP and click Properties.
3. On the DNS Configuration tab, click Enable DNS. In the Host text box, type your User ID (given to you by M.U.M. Information Systems Dept.). The domain is mum.edu. DNS Server Search Order box, type the first number shown here. Click Add. Then type the second number and again click Add. Leave the Domain Suffix Search Order section blank. The tab should look like the figure at the right.
4. The Gateway tab should be blank, with no installed gateways.
