DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router

Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP
protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol
installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is
an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from
the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other
Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions
are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP
settings from the Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure
the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.
Note
If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you
can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers.
However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own IP
address that is unique on the local network.
