Network Configuration

When the drivers are installed, the default setting is set to obtain IP dynamically

through a DHCP server.

Note: All the illustration and pictures are snap shots under Windows 98SE

operating system. For Windows 2000/ME users, there will be a slight

variation from the pictures shown.

1. You can check if your IP has been setup correctly by using the “ipconfig” (shown

below) command under MS-DOS (command prompt).

If your IP address is 0.0.0.0, then DHCP server didn’t assign an IP address for you.

You need to set up a static IP address to enable you to access the network. If

DHCP has allocated you an IP address, you may want to proceed to next section

describing how to test if your WLAN is configured correctly using ping command.

For Window 98SE users, window will assign an IP address and subnet mask even if

DHCP server is not present. This IP might work (depending on your luck!) or it

may not. We strongly recommend that you set your own IP. Although window will

set your IP, it will not set your DNS and gateway settings, you need to configure

these settings manually.

operating system.
