2. PC Configuration __________ User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration for each system within the Broadband Router’s LAN network. By default, the Broadbnad Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all non-server version of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client.
