Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router, and then you can configure the IP address for your PC by following the steps below:

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC."

2)Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter.

¾If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC and the Router has been established well.
