SETTING UP YOUR COMPUTERS
The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to
the computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers
need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To change the
configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in
this chapter. If your computers are configured with fixed or static
addresses and you do not wish to change this, then you should use the
Discovery program on the Router CD-ROM to detect and configure your
Router. Refer to Appendix A
for information on using the Discovery
program.
