3.2. Installing TCP/IPfor the Network Interface on your NetProxy PC

In order for NetProxy to communicate with the other computers on your network, you must install and configure the TCP/IP protocol for the network card in your NetProxy computer. Follow the steps below to do this:-

1. Install the TCP/IP protocol for your Network Card

• Start the Windows Control Panel application and select the ‘Network’ properties.
• Highlight your Network card in the list of network components and click ‘Add..’.
• Select ‘Protocol’ to add a new protocol for your Network card and click ‘Add…’.
• Under the ‘Manufacturer’ list, select Microsoft, and select TCP/IP from the ‘Network Protocols’ list.
• Click OK to install TCP/IP.

2. Configure the properties for TCP/IP

IP Address and Subnet Mask:

• Highlight the newly installed protocol (shown as ’TCP/IP -> Your network adapter name’) and click the ‘Properties…’ button to configure the protocol.
  
• Under the ‘IP Address’ tab, select the ‘Specify IP address’ option and enter 192.168.0.1 for the IP Address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. (This assumes that you are using the private IP address space of 192.168.0.0/24, which we recommend).

Other Options

You should leave all other options for TCP/IP at their default settings.

Click OK to save the settings, and click OK to close the Network settings dialog. You may be prompted to enter your original Windows CD-ROM or installation disks, so that Windows can install the necessary components for TCP/IP.

Restarting your computer will complete the installation.
