STEP 3a: Set up your computers for networking
If you are familiar with setting up TCP/IP and file sharing on your
computers, it is not necessary to use the Belkin SOHO Networking
software. Each computer should be set up to "Obtain IP address
Automatically (PC)" or use "DHCP (Mac)". Enable printer and file sharing
on each computer if you wish to share resources.
Mac users, skip to the portion of this section that covers Mac computers.
