3-4 Preparing Your Network

Select TCP/IP, and then click OK.

If you need Client for Microsoft Networks:

Click the Add button.

Select Client, and then click Add.

Select Microsoft.

Select Client for Microsoft Networks, and then click OK.

Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

Configuring TCP/IP Properties

After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each PC must be assigned specific

information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to

configure this information is to allow the PC to obtain the information from the internal DHCP

server of the Model RT311 and RT314 routers.

If you are using DHCP with the recommended default addresses, you can configure your PCs by

following these steps:

Install TCP/IP on each PC, leaving the PC configured to obtain configuration settings

automatically (by DHCP).

Physically connect the PCs and the router using a hub or a direct connection.

Restart the router and allow it to boot.

Restart each PC.

Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Windows)

After your PC is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration using the

Windows 95 and 98 utility

winipcfg.exe

(for Windows NT systems, use

ipconfig.exe

Note:

If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a broadband

modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to

copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your router.

Refer to “Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows)” on page 3-8 or

“Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Macintosh)” on page 3-9 for further

information.
