   The TCP/IP Window

2. From the Configure pull-down menu, select Using BootP Server. From the Filemenu, choose Quit. Click the Save button.

3. Reopen the TCP/IP window. From the Configure pull-down menu, select Using DHCP Server. From the Filemenu, choose Quit. Click the Save button.

Having refreshed your TCP/IP settings, you can now return to Configuring the HomePortal to Access the Internet.
