OK, Step by Step! Like you’d give an SPL an SRA in IMC!!!
Click on START, Settings then Control Panel.
Double-Click on the icon “Network” It will open and you’ll see 3 grey tabs headed, Configuration, Identification, Access Control.
With Configuration on top there will be a white box with lines of text in it eg ”Client for Microsoft Networks”, “Dial up Adapter” and somewhere “TCP/IP -> whatever your card is called (mine saysTCP/IP-> RPCI Ethernet Adapter)
Click on that line, then the box marked “Properties”.
You’ll get a new box headed “TCP/IP Properties” and a load of tabbed pages.
Click on “IP Address”
You have some explanatory text and 2 check buttons. The top one will probably be checked (black dot in it) and will say “Obtain an IP address automatically”
The other says “Specify an IP address”
Click in this one and the 2 boxes, IP Address and Subnet Mask will brighten and you can type in the numbers as mentioned earlier. I put in 192.186.0.1 and 255.255.255.1 as was suggested. click OK if you’re happy then OK as required to get back to your desktop.
Reboot and see the difference.
I think you were getting into Device Manager instead. Whatever you do – DO NOT disable the Dial up Adapter.
Now don’t ask me what to do if there are 2 Network adapters!! I dunno!
Hope this helps, I’m off to do some engineerin’!!
