Synchronising TCP/IP settings
If you have made changes to the network configuration on your computer or have con-
nected it to a different Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, you may have to release the old TCP/IP
settings and synchronise them with the settings for your router/access point. The soft-
ware for your wireless adapter normally provides synchronisation functions. If this is not
the case, you can use the following Windows operating system resources.
Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000
