All about the home network
This chapter contains important and useful information on networks—from
the configuration of your computer to examples of applications to general
tips.
3.1
Configuring the computer
Now that you have successfully connected and installed your devolo dLAN
adapter, we show you how to configure your computer correctly and how to
check existing settings.
3.1.1
Windows 98 and Windows Me
햲
Open the properties of the LAN connection on the connected computers
by selecting
Start
Settings
Control Panel
Network
.
햳
Click the entry for the TCP/IP protocol of the network adapter and on
Properties
. Enable the option 'Obtain an IP address automatically'. You
can ignore all other options: they either remain empty or retain their
default settings. Close the dialogs with
OK
.
If you cannot find an entry similar to 'TCP/IP' or 'TCP/IP -> Network Adapter
Name' or 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)', you must install the TCP/IP protocol.
Under
Add
select 'Protocol' and click
Add
again. In the next dialog box under
'Manufacturer' select 'Microsoft' and under 'Network Protocol' select 'TCP/
IP'.
햴
If you use a router for Internet access, you will still need to configure it,
because the router dials into the Internet, not the computer. Under
Start
Settings
Control Panel

tions' tab and enable the 'Never dial a connection' option. Close the dia-
logs with
OK
.

Dial-up Connections

sponding LAN connection and select 'Properties'.
