    1.6 Getting started  
     
    This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the 
    Internet. 
     
    1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).  
     
    2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. 
    All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one 
    another. 
     
     
    Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically   
    						
    							 4

    automatically once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This 
    section will show 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.), follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The 
    following is a step-by-step illustration on how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address 
    automatically for 2a) Windows 95/98/Me, 2b) Windows XP, 2c) Windows 2000 and 2d) 
    Windows NT.
