PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Inter-
nal") 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
ADSL Wireless Firewall Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The ADSL Wireless Firewall 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 using the default ADSL Wireless Firewall Router settings, and the
default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router will act as a DHCP Server, auto-
matically 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.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-
quired:
•
The
Gateway
must be set to the IP address of the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router
•
The
DNS
should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to
Chapter 8 - Advanced
Setup
for details.
