CONFIGURING THE TCP/IP
SETTINGS OF WIRELESS STATIONS
This appendix provides information on how to configure the TCP/IP
settings of a wireless station on different Windows platforms.
Overview of TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the
most widely known and is a combination of two protocols (IP and TCP)
working together. TCP/IP is an internationally adopted and supported
networking standard that provides connectivity between equipment from
many vendors over a wide variety of networking technologies.
For the wireless stations to be able to communicate with the Access
Point, they must have TCP/IP settings that match. This appendix provides
step-by-step instructions for:
■ Configuring TCP/IP on Windows XP
■ Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 2000
■ Configuring TCP/IP on Windows Me/98/95
■ Configuring TCP/IP on Windows NT 4.0
