Once you’ve connected your router to your computer and your telecommunications line and installed a web
browser, you’re ready to run the Netopia SmartStart™ Wizard. The SmartStart Wizard will help you set up the
router and share the connection. The SmartStart Wizard walks you through a series of questions and, based on
your responses, automatically configures the router for connecting your LAN to the Internet or to your remote
corporate network.
The SmartStart Wizard will:
automatically check your Windows 95, 98, or NT PC’s TCP/IP configuration to be sure you can accept a
dynamically assigned IP address, and change it for you if it is not set for dynamic addressing
check the physical connection from your computer to your router without your having to enter an IP address
assign an IP address to your router
This chapter covers the following topics:
“Before running SmartStart” on page 2
“Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard” on page 3
“Sharing the Connection” on page 6
