Step 2: Configure the PCs
In Step 2, you will configure each of your computers 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 com-
municate 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 operating 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 settings
based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once you've config-
ured your computers, continue to Step 3: Configure the Router.
