6.1 CONFIGURING IP SETTINGS ON YOUR COMPUTER

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol
installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are
using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to
configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-
step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has
been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure
the system to receive IP settings from the Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the
system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.
Note
If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer,
you can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers.
However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its
own IP address that is unique on the local network.
