User’s Manual for the NETGEAR Super AG Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WG111U
Appendix C-4 Preparing Your Network to Work with a Router
202-10065-01
Preparing Your Computers for TCP/IP Networking
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 computer, then
TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.
Most operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/IP:
•Windows
®
95 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network.
Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/
IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon.
Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a
TCP/IP network.
All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions provided
with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer.
In your IP network, each computer and the router must be assigned unique IP addresses. Each
computer must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask
(netmask), a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases,
you should install TCP/IP so that the computer obtains its specific network configuration
information automatically from a DHCP server during bootup.
The router is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The router assigns the following TCP/IP
configuration information automatically when the computers are rebooted.
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
