Setting Up Your Computer’s IP Address

Note: Your specific NWA1300-NJ may not support all of the operating systems described in this appendix. See the product specifications for more information about which operating systems are supported.

This appendix shows you how to configure the IP settings on your computer in order for it to be able to communicate with the other devices on your network. Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS 9/OS X, and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to use TCP/IP on your computer.

If you manually assign IP information instead of using a dynamic IP, make sure that your network’s computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet.

In this appendix, you can set up an IP address for:

•Windows XP/NT/2000 on page 88

•Windows Vista on page 91

•Windows 7 on page 95

•Mac OS X: 10.3 and 10.4 on page 99

•Mac OS X: 10.5 and 10.6 on page 102

•Linux: Ubuntu 8 (GNOME) on page 105

•Linux: openSUSE 10.3 (KDE) on page 110
