2 QUICK SETUP
2.1 Getting Started
Once you have your network configured (see the sample setup diagram in
Section 1.3 above), you need to set your LAN PC clients so they can obtain an IP
address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address: Just like a street
address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already configured
your PC to obtain an IP automatically, proceed to Login below.)
By default, the router’s DHCP is on, which means that you can obtain an IP
address automatically once you’ve configured your PC to do so. The procedures
for Windows XP and Vista operating systems are presented below: For other
operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Windows XP
1. Click the Start button and select Settings, then click Network Connections.
2 Double-click the Local Area Connection icon to display its window.
3. Check your list of Network Components. You should see “Internet Protocol
[TCP/IP]” on your list. Select it and click “Properties.”
