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
• Wireless configuration
• Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the DRG600-WiFi.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The DRG600-WiFi 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 DRG600-WiFi settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be
made.
By default, the DRG600-WiFi 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 required.
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the DRG600-WiFi
The DNS should be set to the IP address of the DRG600-WiFi and/or the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to
theAdvanced Setup chapter for details.
