Network Checklist
The Model RT311 Internet Access Gateway Router uses IP. IP configuration has the
following requirements:
• All PCs must have TCP/IP manually installed and selected as the networking protocol.
• All PCs and the router must be assigned IP addresses. The router's DHCP function
automatically assigns IP addresses for you, but the PC's IP address must be set to
"Obtain an IP address automatically" in the Network Control Panel.
• Check that "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected in the TCP/IP properties in
the Network Control Panel. Refer to "Configuring TCP/IP" in the next section to confirm
these settings.
