DIR-120 Ethernet Broadband Router D-Link DIR-120 User Manual 64 Appendix B Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard insta llations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-s tep description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are pr ovided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router. For computers running non-Wi ndows operating systems, follow the instructions fo r your OS that configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client. Note If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these instructions later to chang e the IP settings for the other computers. However, you cannot use the same IP addr ess since every computer must have its own IP address that is unique on the local network.
