Removal of Static IP on Windows 98/ME

  1. Single-click on the Start Button in the lower left corner.

  2. Click Settings, then Control Panel, then double-click the Network icon.

  3. Not sure what to look for? Network adapters have small green "cards" next to them in the list of network components. Protocols (TCP/IP) have small "wires". The network adapter listed should match the type of Ethernet card you have in your computer.

  4. Continue with the steps below. (Even if TCP/IP and your network card are already configured, you must configure your TCP/IP settings.)

Configuring TCP/IP

  1. Select TCP/IP from the list of installed network components, and click on Properties.

    • If there is more than one TCP/IP listed, select the one that points to the Ethernet card that you have installed on your machine.

  2. Under the IP Address tab, select Obtain an IP Address Automatically.

  3. Now click OK. Click OK one more time on the Network Window to finish Network setup.

  4. Windows may ask for Windows 98 disks or CD-ROM. It may also ask you to restart Windows 98, you must let it restart for the changes to take effect.

  5. You should now be ready to start using your internet.
