Configuring DSL For Windows NT
Setting up an DSL connection is very easy.
Hardware
You
will need to install a network card in your computer. If you don't know how to
do this you may want to have a Computer Store install a network card. At LA Bridge
Internet we can refer you to a consultant but we ourselves to not sell or install
network cards.
Once you have the network card installed, connect the ADSL modem to your network card using the "crossover cable" which GTE should have supplied. You are ready to try to connect.
Software Configuration
Referring
to the diagram below, open - Settings->Control Panel->Network, find the
"Local Area Connection Properties" and find the TCP/IP settings for
your network card (not the dialup adaptor). You don't need to set anything except
"Obtain an IP address automatically" as shown. Make everything look
like the diagram. Restart your computer. You should be online.
Please note that there are several different versions of Windows NT. The diagram here corresponds to the current version 5.0. If you have an older version it should be similar. You may also want to refer to the directions for Windows 98.
