Connectivity - 95/98/ME
- On the desktop, right-click the
Network Neighborhood icon and select Properties from
the context menu to bring up the Network dialog
box.
- Select TCP/IP in the list of network
components and click the properties button. This
brings up the Microsoft TCP/IP Properties dialog
box.
- If TCP/IP is listed more than once,
select the one that is bound to the device you use
to connect to the Internet. For example, it may say
"TCP/IP -> Your Modem" where Your Modem is the
manufacturer and model number of the modem installed
in your computer. If you use cable or DSL to connect
to the Internet, you should select the TCP/IP that
is bound to the network card which is attached to
the cable modem or DSL device. If you're
not sure which is which, perform the procedure on
each TCP/IP protocol item listed.
- By default, the IP Address tab is
selected. Click the DNS tab. Doing so displays your
DNS settings.
- Click the Enable DNS radio button,
enter a host name in the host name box and a domain
name in the domain name box.
- The host name is the name of your
computer on the network, and it can be almost any
name you like. Don't use the same name as any of the
Exchange servers, which are named Villager1,
Villager2, etc. The name should contain only letters
and numbers.
- The domain name should match the
part after the @ sign in your email
address.
- In the box under Domain Suffix Search
Order, type junctionbox.net and click
Add. After you click Add, it will appear in the
list below the entry box. See the screen shot
below.
- You do not need to put anything in
the DNS servers list.
- Click OK again to close the Network
dialog. Click Yes to restart your computer (if
necessary).
- The key point is that when you're
finished, junctionbox.net has been added to the list of
domain suffixes.
The next step in the setup process after
configuring the DNS suffix search order (or installing
the HOSTS file) is the Connectivity Test. You
can return to the Step-By-Step page and go
from there if you
prefer. |
