14 Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station User's Guide
Determining Your Network Settings
If your system matches the configuration described on page 10
and you are using the typical setup method, the Setup Wizard can
detect your settings automatically and use them to set up your
network. However, if your system configuration or chosen setup
option requires you to enter your settings manually, the following
instructions will help you locate them. You can record this
information on the inside back cover of this User's Guide for future
reference.
To determine your workgroup name in Windows XP or
Windows 2000
1. Click Start, then click Control Panel, and then double-click
System.
2. For Windows XP, click the Computer Name tab.
For Windows 2000, click the Network Identification tab.
To determine your workgroup name in Windows 98
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Network, and then double-click Locating your
network workgroup.
To determine your Internet settings
Your Internet settings may include such information as dynamic or
static IP address, username, password, primary and secondary
DNS, and default gateway. To determine these:
• Use your modem's utility program if you have one.
• Call your Internet service provider or locate the documentation
they sent you when you signed up for DSL or cable service.
• Before starting setup or disconnecting your modem, you can
use the Windows Network or Network Connections control panel
to determine the settings. For more information, see Windows
Help.
To determine your wireless network settings
• If you are adding to a Microsoft wireless network, use the
Broadband Network Utility to determine your wireless network
name, channel, and WEP security key (if set).
• If you have a non-Microsoft wireless network, use your network
utility program to determine the settings.
