Chapter 4: Connecting the Router
Overview
To set up your network, you will do the following:
•
Connect the Router to one of your PCs according to the instructions in this chapter.
•
If necessary, configure your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically from the Router, according to “Chapter
5: Configuring the PCs.” (By default, Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, and XP computers are set to obtain an IP
address automatically, so unless you have changed the default setting, then you will not need to configure
your PCs.)
•
Set up and configure the Router with the setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) according
to “Chapter 6: Set up and Configure the Router.”
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information with you after installing your
broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the information. Once you have the setup
information for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can begin installation and setup of the Router.

Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, hubs,
switches, and cable or DSL modem.
2.
Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the front of the Router (see
Figure 4-2). Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, hub, or
switch.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router.
3.
Connect your cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable to one of the Router’s Internet ports.
Repeat this step to connect additional Internet devices to the Router’s other Internet ports.
4.
If you want to use the DMZ port, connect an Ethernet cable to it, and connect the other end to the
appropriate network device, such as a public server.
5.
Power on the cable or DSL modem and the other network device(s).
6.
Connect the included power cord to the Router’s Power port on the back of the Router, as shown in Figure 4-
4, and then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The System LED on the front panel will light up as soon as the power adapter is connected properly.
If you need to configure your PCs, proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the PCs.” Otherwise, proceed to
“Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router.”

Overview

Chapter 5: Configuring the PCs
Overview
The instructions in this chapter will help you configure each of your computers so they will be able to
communicate with the Router. Each PC must be set to obtain an IP address (or TCP/IP) address automatically
(called DHCP). Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network or the Internet.
Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP. If
you’re not sure, you can find out by clicking the Start button. On the left side of the taskbar, it will say which
operating system your computer is using.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Router.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network settings based on the type of Windows
operating system you are using. Make sure that an Ethernet card or adapter has been successfully installed in
each PC you will configure. Once you’ve configured your computers, proceed to “Chapter 6: Setting up and
Configuring the Router.”
Configuring Windows 98 and Millennium PCs

Do not choose a TCP/IP entry whose name mentions Dial-Up Adapter, PPPoE, VPN, or AOL. If the word TCP/IP
appears by itself, select that line. (If there is no TCP/IP line listed, refer to Windows Help or your Ethernet
adapter’s documentation to install TCP/IP now.) Click the
Properties
button.
3.
Click the
IP Address
tab and select
Obtain an IP address automatically
, as shown in Figure 5-2.

field is left blank. Click the
OK
button.

Note:
These instructions apply only to Windows 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP computers. By default,
Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, and XP have TCP/IP installed and are set to obtain an IP address
automatically. If you have not made any changes to your PC’s default network settings, then proceed
to “Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router.”
