TCP/IP Configuration in Vista
This is the most important part of network card configuration in Vista. You must
configure the network card, so that this computer can communicate with other
computers or network devices. You will need to have TCP/IP protocol and other
Windows network items installed in order to make it work correctly.
1) Go to Start and right click on Network and then click Properties.
2) Network and Sharing Center window will appear, then click Manage network
connections.
3) Network Connections window will appear. Here you can right click on the network
card that you wish to configure and click Properties.
4) In the Local Area Connection Properties window, tick on Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
Manual IP Assigning
You can now key in the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS
servers.
Note: IP address of your computer must be unique. None of the 2 computers in the
network can share same IP address, it causes IP address conflict.
