PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local
("Internal") LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may to be configured:
TCP/IP network settings
Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via XRT-
401B.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
XRT-401B 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
If using the default Broadband Router settings, and the default Windows
95/98/ME/2000 TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
By default, XRT-401B 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 you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the
following sections.
