Chapter 4 Configuring your PCs
This chapter helps you configure commonly used Microsoft Windows computer to
be able to communicate with the DIR-430. Users with computers running other
operating systems can look through respective user manuals.
Before you try making your PC obtain an IP Address automatically, you need to
know the operating system of your PC. This section covers configuration for PCs
running Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, XP, and 2003.
If you are running Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, XP, or 2003 then you can
Click on the
Start
button and then go to
Settings
option (does not exist for
Windows XP, 2003). Then click on
Control Panel
button to open a window with
all the tools.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting the DIR-430
through the switch or a hub. If a single PC is connected directly to the DIR-430,
then doing it on the PC is sufficient.
The next few pages take you through step-by-step procedure to configure your
network settings based on the type of operating system. Make sure that Ethernet
card or adapter has been successfully installed in each PC you will configure.
