2.5Configure Client PCs

This chapter describes how you can check (and maybe change) the TCP/IP settings in your computer(s) if you have problems to access the Internet. Refer to information from your Internet Service Provider.

2.5.1Use DHCP

If you have not been provided any IP settings from your ISP/service provider, you should use DHCP that is the most common used method.

2.Click the Configuration tab and select TCP/IP for the network adapter (wireless, Ethernet or USB) that is connected to your HN294d. Click the Properties button.

3.Select the IP Address tab and make sure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected. If not, select it and click OK.

4.Click OK in the “Network” dialog box and close the Control Panel.

5.Some configuration files may be copied to your hard disk and if a “Settings Changes” message asks you to restart your PC, you should answer Yes.

In Windows 2000:

1.From the Start menu select Settings > Control Panel and double- click on the Network and Dial-up Connections icon.

2.Double-click on the Local Area Connection icon for the HN294d. Be sure to choose the correct one if you have several dial-up icons.

3.Click the Properties button.

4.Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
