Configuring Tcp/Ip - VisionNet M505N User Manual

3. Configuring TCP/IP

This section will help you to establish a connection between a PC and the Freeway DSL.
Each computer that will be part of your network needs to communicate with the Freeway DSL.
To do this, you may need to configure each PC's network settings to automatically obtain an
IP address.
This configuration assumes you have retained the default interface for Windows XP. If you
are running the 'Classic' interface, please follow the instructions for Windows XP.
