Nancy, I'm sorry I left out a step, the instructions should have been
Start, Run, (Type) Command, then inside the box type Ipconfig/all.
Once you've noted the information, type Exit & Press enter to exit
the command prompt box.
If you just have a cable modem the easiest way to get a new IP is
just unplug the round power cable from the modem, wait a couple
of seconds and then re-insert the power plug. The modem will get
a new IP from the Server. To verify, just check the IP address
before you unplug and then again afterwards.
