16.1.2 Adding UPnP-enabled PC to Home Network
If your computer is running an operating system that supports UPnP such as Windows XP,
you can add the computer to your home network and access the Web-based Management
directly from Windows.
To add a UPnP-enabled computer to the home network:
Connect the PC to the device; the PC automatically recognizes and adds to the home
network. The device is added to 'My Network Places' as the Internet Gateway Device
and allows configuration via a standard Windows interface. A message appears on the
notification area of the taskbar notifying that the PC has been added to the network.
To access the Web-based management directly from Windows:
1. Open the 'My Network Places' window by double-clicking its desktop icon.
Figure 16-2: My Network Places (e.g., MP-264)
2. Double-click the Internet Gateway Device icon. The device Web interface ‘Login’
screen appears in a browser window. This method is similar to opening a browser
window and typing in '192.168.1.1'.
