Router User’s Guide

Chapter 3

Operating System Configuration

This chapter explains how to configure your computer to work with the Router.

To access the Internet through the SpeedStream Router, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on your computer. If TCP/IP is not already installed on your computer, refer to your system documentation or online help for instructions. Once installed, you should check the TCP/IP protocol settings to make sure they are correct for use with the Router.

Once TCP/IP is installed and configured properly, the next step is to configure your computer to use the Router for Internet access by configuring the Web browser to access the Internet via the LAN rather than by a dial-up connection.

Check TCP/IP Protocol Settings

Because the Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured properly.

The default network settings for the SpeedStream Router are:

IP Address:

192.168.254.254

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

If using the default Router settings and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, you do not need to make any changes.

By default, the Router will act as a DHCP server, automatically providing a suitable IP address and related information to each computer when the computer boots up. For all non-server versions of Windows, the TCP/IP setting defaults to act as a DHCP client.

The instructions to check TCP/IP protocol settings differ between operating system. Check the settings using the instructions for your operating system:

Windows 9x/ME

Windows 2000

Windows XP

MAC OS 8.6 through 9.x

MAC OSX
