Today was supposed to be the last day of waiting before my Computer Hardware Servicing NC II examination. Then, I received a text message informing me that the said exam was rescheduled to 4 July 2014. It was half-relief for me because I will still have enough time to review for another week. It was half-eagerness for me too because I already want to finish it and relax but maybe it was my destiny to review more. I also have to file for another leave because it was scheduled on a Friday which is still a working day.
Anyway, this is part of my review on how to configure network connection in Windows XP.
Anyway, this is part of my review on how to configure network connection in Windows XP.
- Click on the Start menu.
- Click on Control Panel.
- When the Control Panel window opens, you will see items in either Category View (continue with step #3) or Classic View (skip to item #4).
- Find and double-click on the Network and Internet connection icon.
- Next, find and double-click on the Network Connections icon, a window will open with all network connections available on the computer (wired and wireless).
- Find the network connection you want to manually configure, right-click on it and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
- In the Connection Properties window, under the section labeled This connection uses the following items: find the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and double-click it.
- A new window will open, select the second radio button which is labeled Use the following IP address.
- Enter the appropriate IP address (192.168.0.1); subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0); and gateway (the router or proxy server address).
- The next part of the windows will now have a radio button selected which is labeled Use the following DNS server addresses.
- If you need to access the Internet, enter the DNS addresses provided by your ISP; if you do not have that information you can use the OpenDNS server. Their DNS addresses are: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
- After entering the required information, click the OK button twice and close the Control Panel window.
