CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURING THE CLIENT PC
After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure
your computer to connect to the Belgacom b-box. First determine how your ISP issues your IP
address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated numbers, which you
must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you need to
configure your computer.
Depending on your operating system see:
“Configuring Your Computer in Windows 2000” on page 3-3,
“Configuring Your Computer in Windows XP” on page 3-9,
“Configuring Your Macintosh Computer” on page 3-15.
TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Belgacom b-box, you must configure the network
settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Belgacom b-box.
The default network settings for the ADSL Router are:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must first
configure at least one computer to access the Belgacom b-box’s web
configuration interface in order to make the required changes. (See “Configuring
the Belgacom b-box” on page 4-1 for instruction on configuring the Belgacom b-
box.)
