Configuring Windows 95 or Windows 98 for IP Networking

All PCs must have an Ethernet adapter card installed and TCP/IP as their protocol. TCP/IP installation must be done manually.

To configure Windows 95 or Windows 98 for IP networking:

Select the network properties from the Windows Control Panel.

Find your Ethernet adapter, TCP/IP protocol, and Client for Microsoft Networks. If these do not exist, you must add them.

To add an Ethernet adapter:

a.Click on Add.

b.Select Adapter.

c.Click on Add (again).

d.Select the manufacturer and model for the Ethernet adapter.

e.Click on OK.

To add TCP/IP:

a.Click on Add.

b.Click on Protocol.

c.Click on Add (again).

d.Select Microsoft.

e.Select TCP/IP.

f.Click on OK.

To add a Client for Microsoft Networks:

a.Click on Add.

b.Click on Client.

c.Click on Add (again).

d.Select Microsoft.

e.Select Client for Microsoft Networks.

f.Click on OK.

Restart your PC after making these changes.

Configuring TCP/IP Properties

NETGEAR recommends that you keep the default settings for the TCP/IP setup parameters, because your PC is configured to obtain its TCP/IP configuration information from a DHCP server on the LAN. The Model RT338 router is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server and assigns the TCP/IP configuration.

To obtain the configuration information from the router:

1.Turn on power to the router.

Wait at least one minute before continuing to step 2.

2.Reboot each PC on your LAN.
