Configuring PCs to be Wired to the Router
The first step is to make sure the PC gets an IP address that it will use to
communicate with the router and with other PCs across the network.
You can begin by setting up your PC to function as a DHCP client,
which will obtain an IP address automatically from router. Alternatively,
you may want to give your PC a static IP address if you are an expert
user.
Whether you choose to allocate static or dynamic IP settings, the next
few pages will walk you through the TCP/IP configuration in a step-by-
step process. Depending on the Microsoft Windows operating system
used, you may skip some of the steps. Please ensure that you have an
Ethernet or wireless adapter successfully installed in each PC you are
configuring.
Important: By default, Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP
have the TCP/IP protocol installed and set to obtain
an IP address automatically.
