I've created Visio drawings in the past that show how our device
operates within a hospital's network, including tables with the TCP/IP
information that you mentioned.
Check out Microsoft's own article, "Using shapes to create tables in
Visio," at http://tinyurl.com/y8jps3
You can also type "Table" in the Search for Shapes field; I sometimes
use the 5-ruled column and 15-ruled column tables that come up in the
search result. Yes, I know, the same search also brings up the Picnic
Table item, but that can wait till lunch hour.
