Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

TCP/IP network settings

Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the VPN Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The VPN Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP proto-
col be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default VPN Broadband Router settings and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no
changes need to be made.

By default, the VPN Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address
(and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:

The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the VPN Broadband Router

The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Other
Features and Operations for details.
