4.1 Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the WN-300ARM-VPN.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The WN-300ARM-VPN 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 WN-300ARM-VPN settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to
be made.
By default, the WN-300ARM-VPN will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP
Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
The
Gateway must be set to the IP address of the WN-300ARM-VPN.
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 - Advanced Setup for details.
