PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

•TCP/IP network settings

•Internet Access configuration

•Printer installation

•Wireless configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:

•Internet access via the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router

•Sharing the Printer connected to the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•By default, the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, auto- matically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

•For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re- quired:

•The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router

•The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re- configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Advanced Setup for details.
