Introduction to Wizard Screens

The Wizard consists of screens to help you configure your device to access the Internet. The second screen
has three variations depending on what encapsulation type you use. Refer to your ISP checklist in the Quick
Start Guide to know what to enter in each field. Leave a field blank if you don't have that information.
4.1.1 General Setup and System Name
General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. System Name is for identification
purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter your computer's "Computer
Name".
•
In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification tab, note
the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.
•
In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the
Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name
field and enter it as the System Name.
•
In Windows XP, click Start, My Computer, View system information and then click the Computer
Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.
4.1.2 Domain Name
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank,
the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System
Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.
