In order to configure the TCP/IP Stack for Windows98 you need:
Double-click
My Computer | Control Panel | Network icon.
This opens the Network window.
Note: The
Dial-Up Adapter may cause problems with the Ethernet TCP/IP adapter. If the Dial-Up Adapter component is installed in the Network Control Panel, highlight the Dial-Up Adapter entry and click on the Remove button. This will remove the Dial-Up Adapter from the system.
If TCP/IP for your Ethernet card is not installed, you may have to add it. (We are assuming that the driver for your Ethernet card is already installed.)
Click on the Add button in the Network window. This will bring up the Select Network Component Type window.
Select Protocol and click on the Add button. This will bring up the Select Network Protocol window.
Select Microsoft in the Manufacturers box.
Select TCP/IP in the Network Protocols box. Click on OK to reboot the server PC.
Once the proper Ethernet adapter and the TCP/IP protocol are installed, you must configure the TCP/IP information:
From the Start menu, select
Settings |
Control Panel | Network.
Select the TCP/IP protocol in 'The following network components are installed' box.
Click on the Properties button.
In the TCP/IP Properties window select the IP Address tab.
Choose Specify an IP address.
In the IP Address box enter your assigned CIDR network number (a.b.c.x) where x is an UNUSED host IP address. (Keep in mind that the router has already been assigned the .1 host IP address.)
For example: 38.254.100.2
Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask box for an unsubnetted Class C network.
Select the Gateway tab.
Enter the IP address of your router in the New gateway box. (a.b.c.1). Then click on the Add button.
For example: 38.254.100.1
After you add the new gateway, it should appear in the Installed gateways box.
Select the DNS Configuration tab.
Choose Enable DNS.
Enter the host name of the machine in the Host box. (This should be a unique name chosen by you to refer to this machine.)
Enter your InterNIC registered domain name in the Domain box.
Add the IP addresses of the
DNS Name Resolvers.
Enter the first resolver IP address in the top DNS Server Search Order box (see below) and click on the Add button.
This will add the IP address of the resolver in the lower DNS Server Search Order box (see below). Add the second resolver IP address in the same manner as the first. Leave the domain suffix search order blank.
Click on the WINS Configuration tab.
Make sure that the Disable WINS Resolution is chosen.
The defaults in the advanced settings will suffice.
Select the Bindings tab.
If TCP/IP is the only protocol, then this box should be empty.
Make sure that you select OK. This will return you to the Network window.
Select OK again. You will be prompted to restart now. Answer Yes.
The TCP/IP stack should be available after the reboot.
