DSL Setup: Windows XP with Dynamic (DHCP) or Static IP
In order to get your DSL working on your computer running Windows XP, you
will need to input certain IP information by following the steps described
below, and using the settings that were provided to you ( IP address,
gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS server addresses). Follow these
instrutions:
First, go to Start and open Control Panel. Find the icon for Network
Connections and open it.
Once in the Network Connections window, select the LAN or High Speed
Connection icon:
Once in the LAN Connection Properties, scroll down in the
"This connection uses the following items:" window until you find
an item called Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click on TCP/IP
only once (do not double click) and then click the Properties
button.
Now it's time to configure the IP address section:
- If you purchased Residential DSL, click here
to set up dynamic IP address assignment.
- If you purchased Business DSL, click here
for your static IP address assignment
If you purchased a Residential DSL package
of any bandwidth, follow these instructions:
First, click the radio button labeled “Obtain an IP address
automatically.” This will disable the following 3 fields: IP
address, Subnet mask, and Default Gateway.
On the same screen, click the radio button “Obtain DNS
server address automatically.” Again, the 2 DNS server
below that fields will be disabled. Finally, click OK(there is no
need to click on the Advanced Button).
Click the OK button and close all windows. Now open your Internet
browser and try to go to any site. You should now be connected to the
Internet at high speed via your DSL connection. If not, call us and
will help you troubleshoot.
If you purchased a Business DSL package
of any bandwidth, follow these instructions:
First, click the radio button labeled “Use the following IP
address:” This will enable the following 3 fields:
- IP address: Carefully type in the IP address or
address block assigned by Hawaii OnLine
- Subnet mask: Carefully type in the subnet mask
assigned by Hawaii OnLine
- Default Gateway: Carefully type in the Gateway address
assigned by Hawaii OnLine
On the same screen, click the radio button "Use the following
DNS server address:". The 2 DNS servers below that
fields willnow be enabled.
- Preferred DNS Server: Carefully type in 64.75.176.66.
- Alternate DNS Server: Carefully type in 64.75.176.12.
Click the OK button and close all windows. Now open your Internet browser
and try to go to any site. You should now be connected to the Internet at
high speed via your DSL connection. If not, call us and we will help you
troubleshoot.
