3.7 Configuring a PC
To ensure that your network and its external connection work properly, you may
have to change some additional settings on your PCs:
■
If you have not configured X3200 as a DCHP server and the PCs have not
yet been given any IP addresses, you will have to do the following (as per
chapter 3.7.1, page 65 ):
– define the IP addresses now
– show the PCs "the way out" (gateway, DNS)
If you have used the Configuration Wizard ’s default settings and have
configured your PCs as DHCP clients, you can disregard chapter 3.7.1,
page 65 . In this case, X3200 automatically supplies the necessary informa-
tion.
■
If you have configured a connection to a corporate network, you will certain-
ly want to reach PCs from the partner LAN (e.g. head office) via Windows.
To do this, you must proceed as described in chapter 3.7.2, page 67 .
3.7.1 Configuring IP Address, Gateway and DNS on
the PC
If you have not configured X3200 as a DHCP server and your PCs do not yet
have any IP addresses, you must now assign IP addresses to all PCs. You must
also tell the PCs how connections, e.g to the Internet, are to be made. Proceed
as follows:
Windows 95/98
➤
Click the Windows Start button and then Settings
➧
Control Panel.
➤
Double click Network.
➤
Click TCP/IP
➧
Properties.
➤
Enter a unique IP address for your PC and the netmask in the IP Address
tab, e.g.
192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0.
➤
Enter X3200 ’s IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.254, in the Gateway tab. Click
Add.
