Configuring a PC running MS-Windows XP/2000:
1. Click the Start button, and choose Control Panel (in Classic View).
2. In the Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
3. Double-click Local Area Connection.
4. In the LAN Area Connection Status window, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click
Properties.
5. Select the Obtain an IP address automatically and the Obtain DNS server address automatically
radio buttons.
6. Click OK to finish the configuration.
Confirming your PC’s IP Configuration:
There are two tools useful for finding out a computer's IP address and default gateway:
WINIPCFG (for Windows 95/98/Me) Select the Start button, and choose Run. Type winipcfg, and a
window will appear listing the IP configuration. You can also type winipcfg in the MS-DOS prompt.
The procedure required to set a static IP address is not too much different from the procedure
required to set to “obtain IP addresses dynamically” - except that instead of selecting “obtain IP
addresses dynamically, you should specify the IP address explicitly.
Connecting More Devices Through A Hub To The 802.11a+g Router
The Wireless Router provides four LAN ports to allow up to four PCs or Workstations to be
connected to it directly. If you want to connect more devices, you can connect an external hub or
switch to any of the LAN ports using a LAN cable.
