Configuring TCP/IP Settings
Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have
TCP/IP installed and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface
Card (NIC) is already installed in your PC, then TCP/ IP is probably already
installed as well. Please follow the steps in this chapter to assure the correct
TCP/IP settings. For advanced users who know the TCP/IP settings are
already correct, you may skip this section and proceed directly to Chapter 6
Advanced Setup.
Enabling DHCP to Automatically Configure TCP/IP Settings
Each PC using accessing the wireless router must be assigned specific
information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The
simplest way to configure this is to allow the PC to automatically assign the IP
by using a DHCP server. Follow the steps below to allow windows to
automatically assign IP numbers for you.
Step 1
Click the Start button. Select Settings and then click the Control
Panel icon.
Step 2
Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connection icon.
