4 PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.

4.1 Overview

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

•TCP/IP network settings

•Internet Access configuration

•Wireless configuration

4.2 Windows Clients

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

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

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

•By default, the Wireless Broadband 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.
