Basic procedures are given below for setting up Windows-based and
Macintosh-based computers for Ethernet communication with the gateway.
Each of the computers on your home network needs to have settings in its
TCP/IP control panel adjusted to take advantage of the gateway.
Windows
If you are using a Windows-based computer, use the following procedure to
change your TCP/IP settings:
1 From the desktop, click Start, and then select Settings, Control
Panel, and Network.
2 From the Network control panel, select TCP/IP.
3 From the TCP/IP dialog box, select IP Address.
4 Select "Obtain an IP address automatically."
5 Click OK and OK again.
6 Restart your computer.
Macintosh
If you are using a Macintosh computer, use the following procedure to change
your TCP/IP settings:
1 From the desktop, select Apple Menu, Control Panels, and TCP/IP.
2 In the TCP/IP control panel, set Connect Via: to "Ethernet."
The Connect Via: drop-down list is generated by clicking the up or down
arrows. From the list, select "Ethernet."
3 In the TCP/IP control panel, set Configure: to "Using DHCP Server."
The Configure: drop-down list operates in the same way as the Connect
Via: list.
4 Close the TCP/IP dialog box, and save your changes.
5 Restart your computer.
6 After completing the set up procedures in this chapter, go to
Chapter 4, "Running the Setup Program" to configure the
