NWA1120 Series User’s Guide 129
APPENDIX A
Setting Up Your Computers IP Address
Note: Your specific NWA may not support all of the operating systems described in this
appendix. See the product specifications for more information about which
operating systems are supported.
This appendix shows you how to configure the IP settings on your computer in order for it to be
able to communicate with the other devices on your network. Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS 9/
OS X, and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to use TCP/IP on
your computer.
If you manually assign IP information instead of using a dynamic IP, make sure that your network’s
computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet.
In this appendix, you can set up an IP address for:
Windows XP/NT/2000 on page 129

Windows 7 on page 137
Mac OS X: 10.3 and 10.4 on page 141
