Hello Corosus:
it is realy no different than the earlier versions of Windows. Just right click Network Neighborhood, go to properties and then here is the one difference. You will now see all the installed network connections including dial-ups. From there you right click Local Area Network Connection and then properties and from there I believe you should be quite familiar with the screens to set your DNS, Default Gateway and IP Address and subnet. On Internet Explorer just use tools>internet options>connections tab then LAN settings. You probably just needs to be sure automatically detect settings is checked!
