Twin WAN Series – User Guide | v1
Section 5: Configuring PCs on your LAN
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
TCP/IP network settings
•
Internet Access configuration
TCP/IP Settings
When using Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP and the Twin WAN Gateway’s TCP/IP default
settings, no changes need to be made. Just start or reboot your PC.
•
By default, the Twin WAN Gateway will act as a DHCP Server, automatically
providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC
boots up.
•
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a
DHCP client. In Windows, this is called Obtain an IP address automatically. Just
start (or restart) your PC, and it will obtain an IP address from the Twin WAN
Gateway.
•
If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or you wish to check your TCP/IP
settings, refer to Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.
