Configuring PCs to be Wireless Clients
The first step is similar to that of wired PCs connected to the Fast Ethernet. We have to ensure that the wireless client gets an IP address that it will use to communicate with the router and other PCs across the network.
Hence, please note that in Windows XP, you will need to select the wireless network connection corresponding to the wireless adapter you use.
Once you have completed the IP configuration for the wireless client, you may proceed to set up your wireless client’s SSID (Network name) so that it will connect with the router.
Note for Windows 98SE/ME/2000 users: the following ! configuration steps for wireless client setup may differ for different wireless Ethernet adapters with vendor specific driver and utilities. Please refer to your adapter’s manual
for more information.
