Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
TCP/IP network settings
Internet Access configuration
Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless
Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless 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 Router settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
By default, the Wireless 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.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are
required:
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Router
The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 -
Advanced Setup for details.
