A Configuring your Computers
This appendix provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to work with the
Wireless Gateway.
Configuring Ethernet PCs
Before you begin
By default, the Wireless Gateway automatically assigns the required Internet settings to your PCs. You
need to configure the PCs to accept this information when it is assigned.
Note: In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information manually to some or all of your
computers rather than allow the Wireless Gateway to do so. See Assigning static Internet information to
your PCs for instructions
If you have connected your LAN PCs via Ethernet to the Wireless Gateway, follow the instructions that
correspond to the operating system installed on your PC:
• Windows® XP PCs
• Windows 2000 PCs
• Windows Me PCs
• Windows 95, 98 PCs
• Windows NT 4.0 workstations
