Chapter 4

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

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 you are using the default Wireless Router settings and the 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 up.
• 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 re-
quired:
• 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.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-
vanced Setup for details.
