Setting Up Your
Computer
The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the
computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers need to be
configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your
computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
In case you already established a connection with your Router a first time
and/or you do need to set up manually a connection to your Router, please fol-
low the instructions described in this chapter. You will be guided to set up an
Ethernet connection to the Router. To do so, first you have to verify the exis-
tence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according to your Operating Sys-
tem, to establish an Ethernet connection to it. This connection will require you to
enable your computer to receive from the Router its own IP Address automati-
cally: in such a case, the Router acts like the DHCP server in your local net-
work.
