Within this window, select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card and then click on properties. The initial screen is where the IP address of you workstation is set. Enter the first workstation IP address. NAT IP addresses are 172.16.1.2 through 172.16.1.254.You must also configure the Subnet Mask in this window that is 255.255.255.0 The next step is to configure the workstation’s gateway. To configure this, click on the Gateway tab within the TCP/IP window. Enter 172.16.1.1 under the words “New gateway”. After entering the address, click the add button.
