Problem
The computer on which I installed the X5 software is connected to
the Web, but the computers connected through my network device
cannot access the Internet.
Solution
The problem is most likely with your network device (such as a
wireless access point, router, hub, or switch). Check these items:
Try rebooting each computer on your network. For example, if
you are using a router, reboot each computer that is connected
to the router. This will allow for the computers to release and
renew their IP addresses.
If you are using a wireless access point or a router, verify that
the device is using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). This is also known as dynamic IP addressing.
Depending on your device, this may be controlled by an
Obtain an IP address automatically
option. If you need
help, refer to the documentation that came with your network
device or contact its manufacturer.
Refer to the documentation provided with your network
device or contact its manufacturer for assistance.

Configuring Your Web Browser
Important!
This section is for Windows computers only. If you are using a
Macintosh or Linux computer, your browser is already configured
properly. However, you must ensure that your computer’s TCP/IP
settings are configured properly. See
Macintosh TCP/IP
Settings
on page 51 or
Linux TCP/IP Settings
on page 53 for
instructions on how to do this.
When using a Windows computer, the software that you use to
make an Internet connection must be set for a
network
connection
, not a
dial-up connection
. This configuration should
have been done automatically when you installed the software.
If you find that you need to configure your Web browser, this
section includes instructions for recent versions of two popular
Web browsers: Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (or later) and
Netscape Navigator Version 7.2. The configuration is done on the
same computer on which you installed the X5 software.
Depending on the browser you have on your Windows computer,
follow the corresponding instructions in this section.
Tip:
If you are using an earlier version of one of these browsers, the
configuration may be slightly different from below. In those
cases—or if you are using another browser altogether—configure
the browser to use a
network connection
(this might be called a
“Local Area Network” or “broadband” connection).
