In Step 2, you will configure each of your computers to communicate with the
Router.
To do this, you will need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP
(or TCP/IP) address automatically. Computers use IP addresses to communicate
with each other across a network or the Internet.
Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 98 SE,
Millennium, 2000, or XP. You will need to know which operating system your
computer is running. You can find out by clicking the
Start
button and then
selecting the
Settings
option. (If your Start menu doesn’t have a Settings option,
you’re running Windows XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the
Start Menu.) Then, click
Control Panel
and double-click the
System
icon. Click
the
Cancel
button when done.
Once you know which Windows operating system you are running, follow the
directions in this step for your computer’s operating system. You may need to do
this for each computer you are connecting to the Router.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your TCP/IP settings
based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once you've
configured your computers, continue to Step 3: Configure the Router.
