Static IP on a Single Computer with no Router:
* IP address is assigned to the local computer.
* The computer is on-line when ever it is turned on and connected to the DSL modem. This increases your vulnerability from "hackers". Please consider using personal firewall software if you have a Static IP address and are not using a router.

To set up one computer for a static IP address, go to Control Panel, Network and double click the TCP/IP for the Network card. Verify the following settings:
IP address: the IP RTC on Line has assigned to the customer
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 216.223.173.1
DNS Configuration: Enable DNS.
Host Name is the username, Search Domain is rtcol.com
DNS Nos.: 156.154.71.1 and 156.154.70.1
