WinProxy: Support - Configuring Network Card on Client

Configuring the Internal Network Card (TCP/IP) on the Client Computer (DHCP Enabled)

This configuration is to be used when DHCP is enabled within WinProxy.

From below select the operating system on which the WinProxy application will be installed:

Windows 95

Windows 98

Windows NT 4 (workstation/server)

Windows 95 & 98 TCP/IP Setup

1. Click on Control Panel -> Network. Under the Configuration tab, click on your "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP -> OK.

To add NetBEUI to this network card, click on your "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> NetBEUI -> OK.
LAN Adapter means the network card on the WinProxy computer to which you will specify a non-routable IP address for the WinProxy application.

2. Under the Configuration tab check to see if you have installed TCP. It will be in the format of "TCP/IP -> LAN Adapter". If TCP is not there for the LAN adapter, then click on "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP -> OK.

3. Once you have done this, click on "TCP/IP for the LAN Adapter" -> Properties.

Under the IP Address tab, select "Obtain an IP address automatically".

Under the Gateway tab, there should be no entries. In other words, the 'Installed gateways' box should be blank.
