Chapter 7: Configure the PCs

The instructions in this chapter will help you configure each of your comput-

ers to be able to communicate with the Router.

To do this, you need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or

TCP/IP) address automatically (called DHCP). Computers use IP addresses to

communicate with each other across a network or the Internet.

Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows

95, 98, Millennium, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP. You will need to know which oper-

ating system your computer is running. You can find out by clicking the Start

button and then going to the Settings option. Then click Control Panel, and

then double-click the System icon. If your Start menu doesn’t have a Settings

option, you’re running Windows XP. Click the Cancel button when done.

You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Router.

The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network set-

tings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Make sure

that an Ethernet card or adapter has been successfully installed in each PC you

will configure (the only exception is the PC you connect to the 3-Port Router

using the USB port and cable). Once you’ve configured your computers, con-

tinue to “Chapter 8: Configure the Router.”

Important: These instructions apply only to Windows 95,

Windows 98, Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, or Windows

XP machines. For TCP/IP setup under Windows NT, see your

Windows manual. By default Windows 98, 2000, Me, and XP has

TCP/IP installed and set to obtain an IP address automatically.
