TCP/IP Settings 
If using the default Load Balancer settings, and the default Windows 95/98/ME/2000 
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made. 
 
•  By default, the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a 
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots. 
•  For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client. 
•  If you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the following sections.
