Macintosh Clients
From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Wireless Router. The pro-
cedure is as follows.
1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2. Select
Ethernet
from the
Connect via
pop-up menu.
3. Select
Using DHCP Server
from the
Configure
pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID
field can be left blank.
4. Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.
Note:
If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are:
•
Set the
Router Address
field to the Wireless Router's IP Address.
•
Ensure your DNS settings are correct.
Linux Clients
To access the Internet via the Wireless Router, it is only necessary to set the Wireless
Router as the "Gateway".
Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.
Fixed IP Address
By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue
using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your configuration.
•
Set your "Default Gateway" to the IP Address of the Wireless Router.
•
Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct.
To act as a DHCP Client (recommended)
The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows
shell.
1. Start your X Windows client.
2. Select
Control Panel - Network
3. Select the "Interface" entry for your Network card. Normally, this will be called
"eth0".
4. Click
the
Edit
button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data.
5. To apply your changes
•
Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available.
•
OR, restart your system.
