Question

Answer 1

1 If use a ADSL Router change the default ipaddress of the machine

ie if the router address is 192.168,1,1 then the machine can be between 192 .168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254

and also give the DNS address of the internet service provider

2. if is modem please install the drivers and then configure the modem

accordingly,.
