Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
TCP/IP network settings
•
Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TW100-
BRV304.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The TW100-BRV304 uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that
the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default TW100-BRV304 settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the TW100-BRV304 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
•
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-
quired:
•
The
Gateway
must be set to the IP address of the TW100-BRV304
•
The
DNS
should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
