Chapter 2 Configuring your Computers

2.1 Overview

The instructions in this chapter will help you conﬁgure each of your computers to be able to communicate with the NB600W Gateway.

To do this, you need to conﬁgure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP address auto- matically, so your PC can function as a DHCP client. Computers use IP address to communi- cate with the Gateway and each other across a network, such as the Internet.

First, ﬁnd out which Windows operating system your computer is running. You can ﬁnd out by right clicking My computer on your desktop (if you cannot ﬁnd it on the desktop, click the Start button). Then choose Properties in the menu; the system information will identify which operating system you are using.

You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Gateway.

The following pages tell you, step by step, how to conﬁgure your network settings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Make sure that an Ethernet or wireless adapter (also known as a network adapter) has been successfully installed in each PC you will conﬁgure. Once you’ve conﬁgured your computers, continue to “Chapter 3: Conﬁguring the Wireless Gateway”.
