The Internet if growing and CompuVision is growing along with it. Part of our growth will include changing IP address. For most of our dial up customers this change will take place with no action required on their part. However, some of our customers will need to make a small change on their computer. This article will describe how to determine if you need to make that change and how to make that change.

The setting we need to check is the DNS (Domain Name Server) settings. You may have your DNS addresses set to a specific IP address or you may have them set so they are assigned automatically by our server when you call the Internet. What we want them to be is AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED.

Here are the directions to follow to make sure your computer is configured correctly if you are running Windows 95/98:

  1. double click my computer
  2. double click dial up networking
  3. right click once on compuvision and choose properties
  4. click on server types
  5. click on TCP/IP properties
  6. choose SERVER ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS
  7. choose SERVER ASSIGNED NAME SERVER ADDRESSS
  8. click ok all the way back to dial up networking
  9. close dial up networking and my computer

  7. choose server assigned ip address
  8. choose server assigned name server addresses
  9. click ok all the way back to dial up networking

If you are running Windows 3.11, follow these instructions:

If you are running a MacIntosh sometimes you can not automatically configure those numbers. Please reference our MacIntosh Support Page for the new IP addressess of the DNS servers and the default gateway.
