How to Edit LAN Settings

Editing LAN settings

When you get a new Internet connection, you most probably will be required to change the Network fields in the 'TCP/IP properties' to the preferred values used by the ISP. We will show you how this is done in Windows 7.

Instructions:
1. Open the 'Control Panel' through the Windows Start menu.


2. Click on the 'Network and Internet'.

3. Proceed to the 'Network and Sharing center'.

4. Click on 'change adapter settings'.

5. Right click on the 'properties' of the 'Local Area connection' to review or edit your LAN settings.

6. In the pop up window, select 'Internet Protocol' (generally viewed as 'Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IP v4)' and click on the 'Properties' button.

7.The TCP/IP v4 pop up will have all the important network info such as IP address, subnet mask.
Choose the radio button with the option 'Use the following IP address'. Do the same for the 'œDNS server option' (generally, once you click on the radio button to manually edit the IP address, the radio button for the DNS server automatically moves to the option for manually editing the DNS server addresses). Proceed to manually enter the preferred IP address, Subnet Mask, Default gateway, and preferred and alternate DNS server's.


Click O.K. The preferred changes would have been incorporated.
