Updating IP addresses
Particularly in those cases in which you integrate your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 in an
existing LAN that has already been configured, the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 DHCP
server may not be able to access the addressing of the client PC. This means you cannot
use this PC to access the configuration program.
This is mainly due to special settings in the Windows system registry. Under no circum-
stances should you try to change them.
You can update the addressing via the command prompt for the MS-DOS operating sys-
tem.
Requirements:
u Your PC is switched on and connected to the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108.
u The PC network settings are set to obtaining an IP address automatically
(see page 93).
u Your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 is connected, the Power and WLAN LEDs are on.

Open the command prompt. As a rule, you will find this under
Start – Program – Accessories – Command prompt.
The DOS operating system interface is displayed in the window. As a rule, the mouse
does not work in this operating system. You will have to carry out all the functions
through manual entry and pressing the ENTER key. The prompt is already in the right
position and is flashing.
Please note:
Use only the commands described below and make sure they are entered correctly.
Otherwise you will not obtain the desired result. Some MS-DOS commands may even
destroy the operating system!
