addressing, select Manually and then enter the IP address.

operating system. If you do not have a TCP/IP stack, you can use MS_TCP which is 
provided on the 3Com Companion Programs CD-ROM.

To set up MS_TCP, do the following.

1 Install MS_TCP, located on the 3Com Companion Programs CD-ROM, onto your 

hard drive.
