Configuring Your Computers
The following sections describe the typical steps needed to configure your computer network to
communicate with the PCX5000. These procedures apply to all of the interfaces (Ethernet, USB, and
wireless) which you will connect to the PCX5000.
Examples of the network configuration steps for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP are explained
with screen shots in the “Windows Network Configuration” section. Macintosh configurations for
OS 9 and OS X are explained in the “Macintosh Ethernet and Wireless Network Configuration”
section. These procedures instruct you on how to set up your computer to obtain an IP address
automatically.
Before proceeding to the network setting section for your Windows or Macintosh computer, please
verify you have correctly installed and configured the networking interfaces for Ethernet, USB or
wireless 802.11b. Macintosh users please note that the PCX5000 does not support a USB
connection for the Macintosh computer. Macintosh users must use an Ethernet or wireless
(AirPort) connection.

Installing the Ethernet Connections
The PCX5000 has four 10/100 Ethernet ports that can be used to connect directly to a total of four
computers. Each port can be shared with more than one computer by connecting an Ethernet hub or
switch in between the PCX5000 and multiple computers. Each computer must have an Ethernet port
or card to connect directly or indirectly to the PCX5000.
Note that the PCX5000 is a stand-alone device and requires no special Ethernet driver to be installed
on your computers.
Your computer may already be configured with a built-in Ethernet port, or you may need to use an
add-in card. In either case, verify your Ethernet port is working correctly and your computer is
correctly configured for the TCP/IP protocol. Follow the instructions in the “Windows Network
Configuration” section for your operating system. If you do not have an entry for an Ethernet
adapter or TCP/IP protocol in the “Network” panel window, refer to your computer or Ethernet card
adapter documentation. You may need to reinstall your Ethernet adapter card, drivers and TCP/IP
protocol.
Macintosh users should refer to the “Macintosh Ethernet and Wireless Network Configuration ”
section to configure their network settings.
Once you have completed the network settings for your computer, you should be able to access the
Internet at high speed with the Ethernet interface. If you are still having problems making a
connection, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section in the appendix at the end of this
owner’s manual.
