Chapter 4 PC Configuration 4 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 you are 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 up. • 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 reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Advanced Setup for details. 24
