Program 4: To configure IP Address and DNS address for a computer

connected to LAN and to configure network parameters of a web browser for
the same computer.

 To configure IP Address and DNS address for a computer connected to LAN

The LAN IP Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.The
modem router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as
a DHCP server. These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)–designated
private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications.

Steps to configure IP Address and DNS address

1. Right-click the connection that we want to change, and then click Properties.  If we're prompted
for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

 TO CONFIGURE NETWORK PARAMETERS OF A WEB BROWSER
 FIREWALL : A firewall is a network security system, either hardware- or software-based, that
controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on a set of rules. Acting as a barrier
between a trusted network and other untrusted networks -- such as the Internet -- or less-trusted
networks -- such as a retail merchant's network outside of a cardholder data environment -- a
firewall controls access to the resources of a network through a positive control model. This
means that the only traffic allowed onto the network defined in the firewall policy is; all other
traffic is denied.

computer. 
Typically, a cookie records your preferences when using a particular site. Using the Web's
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), each request for a Web page is independent of all other
requests. For this reason, the Web page server has no memory of what pages it has sent to a user

 PROXY SETTING CHANGE :

A proxy server regulates access to the Internet, and prevents external computers from accessing
our network. If we are on a network that uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet, we can
provide proxy server details to Norton Security Suite. we can use the Network Proxy Settings
window to specify the automatic configuration URL, the proxy settings, and the authentication
details. Norton Security Suite uses the proxy settings and authentication details to connect to the
Internet automatically, whenever required. For example, LiveUpdate uses the specified proxy
server settings to retrieve updates. we must ensure that you specify the proxy server details for
LiveUpdate to run successfully.
