4: Configure PCs on your LAN
Overview
For each PC, the following settings may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
TCP/IP Settings
If using the default MULTI-WAN GATEWAY settings and the default Windows
95/98/ME/2000/XP TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made. Just start (or restart) your
PC.
• By default, the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY 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. In
Windows, this setting is: Obtain an IP address automatically.
Just start (or restart) your PC and it will automatically obtain an IP address from the MULTI-WAN
GATEWAY.
• If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or if you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, refer to
Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.
