Lab 6.2 Configuring TCP/IP for a Windows Computer

Make sure that it is set to ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’

5.

6. Type ipconfig and press Enter. The computer displays its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Leave it open.

Write it down here:

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . :

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

7. Now repeat Step 4 and Click the ‘Use the following IP address:’

8. Enter the IPv4 Address with the same first three sets of numbers but change the fourth set to .200 in the IP address text box.

For example, if IP address from Step 6 was 192.168.54.10, change to 192.168.54.200.

9. Enter same subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address found from Step 6.

10. Go back to cmd prompt

11. Now you need to ping the default gateway IP address from step 6. For example, if the gateway is 192.168.54.1, then type ‘ping 192.168.54.1’The Windows computer sends four ICMP packages to the gateway and indicates that is has received four replies. If you do not get replies, then troubleshoot and start from Step 1.

12. Open the web browser to see if you can get the Internet.
