PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
4.1. Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
• Wireless
configuration
4.2. Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the
Wireless Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essen-
tial that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP
settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the Wireless Router 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 Wireless 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.
