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 Broadband ADSL Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Broadband ADSL 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 Broadband ADSL Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•By default, the Broadband ADSL Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically provid- ing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
•For all
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
•The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Broadband ADSL Router
•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 - Ad- vanced Setup for details.
