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

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the LevelOne
Broadband VPN Gateway.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway 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 LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway settings, and the
default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway will act as a DHCP Server, automati-
cally 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 re-
quired:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway
• 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 - Other
Features and Operations for details.
