    4. IP Address Setting 
    If you lost the CD-ROM or you prefer the traditional web setup, please follow the 
    procedures of chapter 4 and chapter 5 to configure the router. Using the router to 
    get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have Ethernet adapter installed 
    and be connected to the router either directly or through a hub or switch. The 
    TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed and the IP Address of each PC 
    has to be set in the same subnet as the router. 
     
    The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask is 
    255.255.255.0. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically 
    through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in the 
    same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is enabled 
    and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200. It is  
    strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically. 
     
    This section shows you how to configure your PC’s so that it can obtain an IP 
    address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating 
    systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), please follow the 
    manual of the operating systems. The following is a step-by-step illustration on 
    how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for Windows XP,  
    Windows 2000, Windows 95/98/Me, and Windows NT.  
     
     
    Windows XP 
     
    1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel and then double click Network 
    Connections. The Network Connections window will appear. 
     
    2.  Right click on the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. The 
    Local Area Connection window will appear. 
     
    3.  Check your list of Network Components. You should see Internet Protocol 
    [TCP/IP] on your list. Select it and click the Properties button. 
      
    						
    							 12 4.  In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select Obtain an IP 
    address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically as 
    shown on the following screen. 
     
     
     
    5. Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address 
    automatically from your router’s DHCP server. 
     
    Note: Please make sure that the router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP 
    server available on your LAN.
