4. IP Address Setting

Using the router to get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have

Ethernet adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or

through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed

and the IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router.

The router’s default IP Address is

192.168.2.1

and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically

through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in the

same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is enabled

and will dispatch IP Address to PC from

192.168.2.100

to

192.168.2.200

. It is

strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically.

address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating
