3 SETTING UP YOUR COMPUTERS

	The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to
	the computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers
	need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To change the
	configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in
	this chapter. If your computers are configured with fixed or static
	addresses and you do not wish to change this, then you should use the
	Discovery program on the Router CD-ROM to detect and configure your
	Router. Refer to Appendix A for information on using the Discovery
	program.
Obtaining an IP	Refer to the section below that relates to your operating system for
Address	details on how to obtain an IP address automatically.
