Once you’ve connected your router to your computer and your telecommunications line and installed a web
browser, you’re ready to run the Netopia Smar tStar t™ Wizard. The Smar tStar t Wizard will help you set up the
router and share the connection. The Smar tStar t Wizard walks you through a series of questions and based on
your responses automatically configures the router for connecting your LAN to the Internet or to your remote
corporate network.
The Smar tStar t Wizard will:
■
automatically check your Windows 95, 98, or NT PC’s TCP/IP configuration to be sure you can accept a
dynamically assigned IP address, and change it for you if it is not set for dynamic addressing
■
check the physical connection from your computer to your router without your having to enter an IP address
■
assign an IP address to your router
