You can do this using the tools provided by the Windows operating system on your PC.
The following steps are required:
u First install the TCP/IP protocol as the network protocol on your system. This step is
not necessary if your system has already been configured for TCP/IP connections.
As a rule, Windows XP automatically integrates network cards to the local network
via TCP/IP.
For Windows 2000 and Windows 98 SE/ME, TCP/IP is not normally installed. Informa-
tion is given on how to install the TCP/IP protocol for the network adaptor for these
systems (for Windows 2000 on page 87, for Windows 98 SE/ME on page 90).
If application of the network protocols was not envisaged during installation of
the operating system, you will be prompted to insert your CD-ROM containing the
operating system.

Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108. After that you can connect further PCs.
To start the configuration program, you may need to deactivate your browser's HTTP
proxy. If you use Windows XP Service Pack 2, you will need to configure the popup
blocker. Both procedures are described on the subsequent pages.
