Chapter 4: PC Configuration

Overview

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

•TCP/IP network settings

•Internet Access configuration

•Wireless configuration

Windows Clients

•This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Router.

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

•The Wireless 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 default Wireless Router settings, and default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically 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 required:

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

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