Checking Windows 98 Network settings with “Winipcfg.exe”
Windows 98 includes a network diagnostic program
called
Winipcfg.exe
which may be run from the
Windows “Start” menu (“Start
à
Run
à
Winipcfg”).
This program may be used to find the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and other relevant TCP/IP settings for
each PC on your network so that you can pick
appropriate settings for AudioTron.
When the dialog box appears, click on the “pull down”
menu to select your network interface card (in this case
an Intel 82557-based Ethernet PCI card). Then note the
IP Address, Subnet Mask and default Gateway settings. The IP address setting for AudioTron
should not conflict with the IP addresses for any of the PCs on your network. The Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway settings on AudioTron should match the settings on your network PCs.
If your network is running a DHCP server, the IP Addresses will be assigned by the server. You
can reassign the IP address by pressing the Release All button, followed by Renew All. Typically,
this would be done on each PC when you add a new PC to the network. More information on this
procedure can be found in the Windows Help file, or in a Windows reference manual.

In Windows NT and 2000, the utility IPCONFIG.EXE may be run from the DOS prompt to obtain
the IP configuration settings.
