How do I Setup my Personal Network to Connect to ResNet?
1.
Windows 2000:
Click the
Start
button on your task bar and select
Control Panel
from the "Settings" menu. Then, double-click on the
Network and Dial-up Connections
icon in the "Control Panel" window.
Windows XP:
Click the
Start
button on your task bar and select
Control
Panel.
Click on
Network Connections.
2. Double-click the
Local Area
Connection
icon, and then click the
Properties
button.
3. Click on
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
to highlight it, and then click the
Properties
button.
4. Click the bullet in front of "Obtain
an
IP address automatically".
5. Click the bullet in front of "Obtain
DNS server address automatically".
If you are a new or returning ResNet subscriber, skip to step 8. If
you have had your computer connected to a network previously (such
as a small network in your home), continue with step 6.
6. Click the
Advanced
button, and then click on the "WINS" tab. Highlight each entry
listed in the "WINS …" text box and click the
Remove
button. There should be no entries in the text box when this step
has been completed.
7. Click on the "DNS" tab and uncheck the box labeled "Register this
connection's address in DNS". Then click the
OK
button.
8. Click the
OK
button on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" dialog. Then
click
OK
on the "Local Area Connection Properties" dialog. Close the "Local
Area Connection Status" and "Network Connections" windows.
9. Your ResNet connection should be fully functional at this point.
If not, restart your computer and then try your connection.
