5. If there is already a DHCP server on the network, or if you

prefer not to use the PalmRouter Elite's DHCP function, you can still

set up the TCP/IP configuration manually. Remember, the IP address
you specify must be on the same subnet as the PalmRouter Elite's IP
address to avoid IP address conflicts. Set up the Subnet Mask as

Ó255.255.255.0Ó

and specify the DNS address with the value that your

ISP provides. The 

Gateway IP address

must be the same as the

PalmRouter Elite's IP address (the default IP address is "

192.168.1.1

").

6. After specifying the settings of TCP/IP click Ò

OK

Ó and restart

Windows to let the settings take effect.
