Windows XP Setup

To set up networking in the Windows XP environment...

Step 1 - Control Panel

Click on the Start button, then follow the menu to Settings > Control Panel

Double-click on the Network Connections

Right click on Local Area Connection and go to Properties

Step 2 - Select IP Properties
Select TCP/IP and click on the Properties button.



Step 3 - IP Address
On the IP Address tab, you can select Obtain an IPaddress automatically and ClarkConnect Office will automatically assign an IP address for you.

Alternatively, you can choose Specify an IPaddress (as shown in the screenshot). Make sure you pick an address between 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99. The subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0.

Step 4 - DNS Settings
If you decided to let the ClarkConnect Office assign your IP address automatically, then you can select Disable DNS . ClarkConnect Office will automatically configure these settings.

If you decided to specify your IP address, then you will need to add 192.168.1.1 to the DNS Server Search Orderlist (as shown).

You should also add a host name and then add "lan" as the domain. If you prefer to bypass the ClarkConnect Office DNS cache, you can add the DNS servers given by your Internet service provider.
