To enable a simple TCP/IP-over-ATM connection
Open Network Connections.
Click the ATM connection that corresponds to the ATM network adapter installed on this computer.
Click File, and then click Properties.
In Components checked are used by this connection, select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box, and then click OK.
Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
You can use the default TCP/IP settings for quick ATM ARP client configuration for a single-switch network by installing the ARP/MARS server on one system. If you use another ARP/MARS server, the client must be configured with the ATM address of that server.
In order for the default setup to work, the ATM ARP/MARS service must be running on a server on the network.

To configure TCP/IP settings
Open Network Connections.
Click the connection you want to configure, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
Do one of the following:
If the connection is a local area connection, on the General tab, under This connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
If this is a dial-up, VPN, or incoming connection, click the Networking tab. In This connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Do one of the following:
If you want IP settings to be assigned automatically, click Obtain an IP address automatically, and then click OK.
If you want to specify an IP address or a DNS server address, do the following:
Click Use the following IP address, and in IP address, type the IP address.
Click Use the following DNS server addresses, and in Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server, type the addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
To configure DNS, WINS, and IP Settings, click Advanced.
Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
You should use automated IP settings (DHCP) whenever possible, for the following reasons:
DHCP is enabled by default.
If your location changes, you do not have to modify your IP settings.
Automated IP settings are used for all connections, and they eliminate the need to configure settings such as DNS, WINS, and so on.
