3.3.2 Configuring TCP/IP Properties
After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each computer must be assigned specific information
about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to configure this information
is to allow the computer to obtain the information from the internal DHCP server of the WER-401 wireless
SOHO Firewall gateway.
If you are using DHCP with the recommended default addresses, you can configure your computers by
following these steps:
1. Install TCP/IP on each computer, leaving the computer configured to obtain configuration settings
automatically (by DHCP).
2. In the wireless adapter configuration of your wireless-interfaced computers, set the ESSID to the
WER-401 wireless SOHO Firewall gateway’s default ESSID:
Wireless
(note the capitalization).
