Operating System Configuration

 

This chapter explains how to configure each computer on your network to work with the router.

To access the Internet through the router, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on your computer. If TCP/IP is not already installed on your computer, install it. Refer to your system documentation or online help for instructions.

Once TCP/IP is installed on your computer, you should check the TCP/IP protocol settings to make sure they are correct for use with the router.

Once TCP/IP configuration is verified, the next step is to configure your computer to use the router for internet access so your PC will use the router when connecting to the Internet and not Dial-Up Networking.

The operating system on each computer in your network must have the TCP/IP network settings and Internet access settings configured.

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 router are:

IP Address:

192.168.254.254

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

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

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
