Atheros Communications, Inc. Windows NT 4.0 • 6-5
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL February 2003 • 6-5
Windows NT 4.0 binds the TCP/IP protocol to the Atheros Wireless
Network Adapters, so TCP/IP properties have to be entered. Depending
on the type of network the station connects to, Gateway and DNS
Configuration information may also be required. IP configuration
information (DHCP or assigned IP address, Gateway and DNS server IP
addresses) is usually obtained from the corporate IT staff. For a simple
demonstration, the station is assigned a static IP address.
9. Choose “Specify an IP address” and enter an IP address and subnet mask.
Assigning an IP address and subnet mask allows the station to interact
with the AP or other stations in the same IP subnet.
10. Click OK to complete the TCP/IP configuration.
11. Restart the system for the changes to take effect.
