Internet Access Configuration

2.Select the Connection tab, and click the Setup button.

3.Select "I want to set up my Internet connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area network (LAN)" and click "Next".

4.Select "I connect through a local area network (LAN)" and click "Next".

5.Ensure all of the boxes on the following Local area network Internet Configuration screen are unchecked.

6.Check the "No" option when prompted “Do you want to set up an Internet mail account now?”.

7.Click "Finish" to close the Internet Connection Wizard.

8.Then simply use your Browser, FTP client, or other Internet client to connect to the desired Internet site.

Accessing AOL

To access AOL (America On Line) through the Broadband Router, the AOL for Windows software must be configured to use TCP/IP network access, rather than a dial-up connection. The configuration process is as follows:

Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0 or later. This procedure will not work with earlier versions.

Click the Setup button.

Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "Broadband Router".

Click Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number blank.)

Click Save, then OK. Configuration is now complete.

Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the "Broadband Router" location.
