PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("In-
ternal") LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may to be configured:

TCP/IP network settings

Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via
ADW-4100.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

ADW-4100 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

If default ADW-4100 settings are loaded, and default Windows 95/98/ME/2000
TCP/IP configuration, no changes need to be made.

By default, ADW-4100 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 you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the
following sections.
