3.1 Before Configuration

This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that communicate

These PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly, be connected to the Router

either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured

to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the

same subnet of the ADSL Firewall Router. The default IP address of the WebShare 243WM

Wireless

configure the PC to get an IP address from the WebShare 243WM Wireless . Also make sure

you have UNINSTALLED any kind of software firewall that can cause problems while

accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please

check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network

adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to MS Windows related manuals.
