PC Configuration 4
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Inter-
nal") 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 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, 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 Wireless Broadband router
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Broadband router, the LAN Administra-
tor must re-configure the Broadband router itself. Refer
to Chapter 8 - Advanced Setup for details.
