PC Configuration

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

Overview

For each PC, the following may to be configured:

•TCP/IP network settings

•Internet Access configuration

•Network printer

•Wireless configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:

•Internet access via the Wireless Gateway

•Printing using the printer attached to the Wireless Gateway.

•Remote Dial-in access to the modem attached to the Wireless Gateway's serial (RS232) port.

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

The Wireless 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

If using the default Wireless Gateway settings, and the default Windows 95/98 TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•By default, the Wireless Gateway will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address to each PC when the PC boots.

•The default Windows 95/98 TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.

To check your PC's TCP/IP Settings:

1.Select Control Panel - Network. You should see a screen like the following:
