GTE ADSL for Brand X Internet and Windows NT 5.0
Setting up an ADSL connection is very easy.
Hardware
You will need to install a network card in your computer.
If you don't know how to do this you may want to have a
Computer Store install a network card. At Brand X Internet
we can refer you to a consultant but we ourselves to not sell
or install network cards.
Once you have the network card installed, connect the ADSL modem
to your network card using the "crossover cable" which GTE
should have supplied. You are ready to try to connect.
Software Configuration
Referring to the diagram below, open
Settings->Control Panel->Network, find the "Local Area Connection
Properties" and find
the TCP/IP settings for your network card (not the dialup adaptor).
You don't need to set anything except "Obtain an IP address
automatically" as shown. Make everything look like the diagram.
Restart your computer. You should be online.
Please note that there are several different versions of Windows NT. The
diagram here corresponds to the current version 5.0. If you have an older
version it should be similar. You may also want to refer to the
directions for Windows 98.
