5 Configuring PCs

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on

your computers to work with the HM410dp.

5.1 Before You Begin

By default, the HM410dp automatically assigns the required Internet

settings to your PCs. You need only to configure the PCs to accept the

information when it is assigned.

Note: In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information

manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the

HM410dp to do so. See section 5.3 – “Assigning Static Internet

Information”.

5.2 Obtaining Internet Information Automatically

Follow the instructions that correspond to the operating system installed on

your PC.

5.2.1 Windows XP

1 In the Windows task bar, click the Start button, and then click Control

Panel.

2 Double-click on the Network Connections icon.

3 In the LAN or High-Speed Internet window, right-click on the icon

corresponding to your network interface card (NIC) and click the

Properties button. (Often, this icon is labeled Local Area Connection).

The Local Area Connection dialog box is displayed with a list of

currently installed network items.

4 Ensure that the check box to the left of the item labeled Internet

Protocol TCP/IP is checked and click the Properties button.

5 In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click the radio

button labeled Obtain an IP address automatically. Also click the

radio button labeled Obtain DNS server address automatically.
