Part 2 of the Quick Start Guide provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to
work with the Internet Security Router.
3.2.1
Before you begin
By default, the Internet Security Router automatically assigns all required Internet settings to your PCs. You
need only to configure the PCs to accept the information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to configure network settings
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
Internet Security Router to do so. See
“Assigning static IP
addresses to your PCs
” in page 13 for instructions.
„ If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the Internet Security Router, follow the instructions that
correspond to the operating system installed on your PC.
