Chapter 4

PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required for each PC on the local

LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

• TCP/IP network settings

• Wireless settings

• Internet Access configuration

• Printer configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:

• Internet access via the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router

• Sharing the Printer connected to the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all func-

tions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router settings,

and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

• By default, the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router 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 re-

quired:

• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router

• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must

re-configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 7 - Rout-

ing for details.
