Configuring Network Computers
When you manually configure the base station, you must configure
the TCP/IP properties of each computer that you connect to your
network.

each computer. Each computer name must be unique, while the
workgroup name should be the same for all computers in the
workgroup.
The procedure for establishing the computer and workgroup names
on a computer varies depending on which version of Windows you
are using. For information about how to establish these names,
consult Windows Help or Broadband Network Utility Help.
