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
• Printer installation
• Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:
• Internet access via the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router
• Sharing the Printer connected to the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The LevelOne 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 LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router settings, and
the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, auto-
matically 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 re-
quired:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the LevelOne Wireless Broadband 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.
