Adding New Wired Ethernet Clients to
Your Wireless Network
This section covers the following topics:
• Installing the NIC cards on client computers.
• Providing IP addresses.
• Making the connections to a hub.
Installing the NIC Cards on Client Computers
Each computer on the wired portion of your LAN will need to
have a Network Interface Card, or NIC card, installed on it. Also
each computer will need to be configured for networking. If this is
an initial installation of an Ethernet or wired LAN, you will also
need to purchase a hub to link the computers together and enough
Ethernet cable (typically 10BaseT, CAT 5) and connectors to hook
up the network.
