Preparing Your Computers for TCP/IP Networking
Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed and selected as its
networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) is already installed in your computer, then
TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.

Most operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/IP:
•
Windows

•
Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/
IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon.

All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions provided
with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer.
with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer.
In your IP network, each computer and the firewall must be assigned a unique IP addresses. Each
computer must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask
(netmask), a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases,
you should install TCP/IP so that the computer obtains its specific network configuration
information automatically from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the
meaning and purpose of these configuration items, refer to “

The WGX102 Wall-Plugged Range Extender is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The
WGX102 assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are
rebooted:
WGX102 assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are
rebooted:
•
PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254
•
Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
•
Gateway address (the firewall)—192.168.0.101
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
