4 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 Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless Broadband Router 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 Wireless Broadband Router settings,
and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes
need to be made.
By default, the Wireless Broadband 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.
