The
ELSA MicroLink Cable
is now ready for use in router mode. Open your Web browser,
and off you go into the Web with a whole new sensation of speed...
If necessary, filters can be defined to restrict the exchange of data packets between the
local network and the Internet. This lets you define restrictions on the workstations that
can access the Internet, or on specific pages of the Internet that cannot be viewed.
Set up the workstation computers (Windows 95 or 98)
We will now briefly show you how the workstation computers must be set up (e.g. under
Windows 95 and Windows 98) to ensure problem-free communication between the
computers on the TCP/IP network and the router, if this has not already been done.
TCP/IP installation
Install TCP/IP by clicking Start ̈ Settings ̈ Control Panel ̈ Network ̈ Add
̈ Protocol. Select 'Microsoft' under Manufacturers and 'TCP/IP' under Network
Protocols.
Obtain IP addresses automatically (use DHCP)
Here's how to set individual workstations to automatically obtain an IP address:
Start ̈ Settings ̈ Control Panel ̈ Network ̈ TCP/IP ̈ Properties ̈ IP
Address ̈ Obtain an IP address automatically. Delete any existing entries for
DNS servers and gateways on the 'Gateway' and 'DNS Configuration' tabs and
disable the 'DNS' option. When rebooting, the workstation will look for a DHCP
server in the network and will allow the server to assign it an IP address and a
netmask.
Configuring fixed IP addresses (not using DHCP)
If you do not wish to use a DHCP server on your network you should configure fixed
IP addresses on your workstation computers: Start ̈ Settings ̈ Control Panel
̈ Network ̈ TCP/IP ̈ Properties ̈ IP Address ̈ Specify an IP address.
Allocate unique IP addresses, e.g. from a reserved address space. The workstations
can be assigned the addresses '10.1.1.2' to '10.1.1.253', for example, the
ELSA
MicroLink Cable
the address '10.1.1.1', all with the netmask '255.255.255.0'.
Ensure that the address intended for the
ELSA MicroLink Cable
, i.e. '10.1.1.1', is
available by opening a DOS box and entering the command
ping 10.1.1.1
. If
you do not receive a reply to this request the address is probably still unused.
