2.5 Configure Client PCs
This chapter describes how you can check (and maybe change) the TCP/IP
settings in your computer(s) if you have problems to access the Internet.
Refer to information from your Internet Service Provider.

If you have not been provided any IP settings from your ISP/service

“Settings Changes” message asks you to restart your PC, you
should answer Yes.
