Notes regarding installation of network components:
- The only network components required to connect to the Internet are:
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- Dial-Up Adapter
- TCP/IP
- Your computer may have other network components installed. Other installed components should not affect your connection to CyTech.
- The default TCP/IP settings are as follows:
- IP address set to Obtain An IP Address Automatically
- WINS Configuration set to Use DHCP For WINS Resolution
- Installed Gateways: None
- DNS Configuration set to Disable DNS
- You can have additional protocols bound to the dial-up adapter if you need them for connection to other Dial-Up Networking servers.
- To remove a component, click the component, and then click Remove.
- You do not need to configure any TCP/IP settings at this time. Instructions for configuring these settings is covered under "Configuring Your TCP/IP Settings".
