Network Clients Screen
The Network Clients database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ"
PC). It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. An example Network Clients screen is
shown below.

•
PCs that are “DHCP Clients” are automatically added to the database, and updated as
required.
•
By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called
"Obtain an IP Address automatically".
•
The SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify
each PC, not the name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you
change the PC's network card or adapter.
•
This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN.
However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the
Network Clients data-
base if required.
Data - Network Clients Screen
Network Clients
Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type .
For this model, the "type" will either be "LAN" or "WLAN" (Wireless
LAN).
Name If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this
matches the PC's "hostname".
IP Address
Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to
determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not con-
nected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
