Once you’ve connected your router to your computer and your telecommunications line and installed a web
browser, you’re ready to run the Netopia SmartStart™ Wizard. The SmartStart Wizard will help you set up the
router and share the connection. The SmartStart Wizard walks you through a series of questions and based on
your responses automatically configures the router for connecting your LAN to the Internet or to your remote
corporate network.
The SmartStart Wizard will:
■ automatically check your Windows 95, 98, or NT PC’s TCP/IP configuration to be sure you can accept a
dynamically assigned IP address, and change it for you if it is not set for dynamic addressing
■ check the physical connection from your computer to your router without your having to enter an IP address
■ assign an IP address to your router
■ allow you to register with a new ISP if you don’t already have one
■ allow you to enter your dial-up telephone numbers and other information, dial up and test your connection
to your chosen ISP or other remote site
This chapter covers the following topics:
■ “Before running SmartStart” on page 3-2
■ “Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard” on page 3-3
■ “Sharing the Connection” on page 3-9
