10 Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station User’s Guide

Typical Setup

The steps in this section correspond to the steps that you will go through in the Setup

Wizard on the Setup CD. If possible, you should use the Setup Wizard whenever you

set up a Microsoft Broadband Networking product on your network.

Note You can use the Setup and Network Utility (v.2.0) CD that comes with this base

station to install all current and previous versions of Microsoft Broadband Networking

products. If you have other Microsoft Broadband Networking products on your network,

you do not need to keep multiple copies of this CD and you can discard earlier versions

of this CD.

Step 1: Gather Components, Tools, and Information

1. Check if any of the following special situations apply to you.

If… Do this first…

You haven’t yet set up

your broadband Internet

connection

Set up your broadband Internet connection and make sure that it

works. The Setup Wizard will look for it and gather all of your Internet

settings so that you don’t have to locate and enter them manually.

You are using this base

station to replace an

existing base station,

gateway, or router

Record your current Internet settings. For information about how to

locate them, see Appendix A, “Locating Your Internet and Network

Settings.” Do not disconnect your existing network devices until

instructed to do so by the Setup Wizard.

Your computer currently

connects to your

broadband modem with

USB cable

Replace the USB cable with the Ethernet cable that came with your

modem. Make sure that your Internet connection is working through

the Ethernet cable before proceeding.

Your computer is

running Windows XP

Log on as a member of the Administrator group on the computer you

will use to set up the base station and on the computer you will use to

set up the adapter. If you are not logged on as an administrator, click

Start, click Log Off, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Log on again

with an administrator’s name and password.

Your computer is

running firewall or

Internet connection

sharing software

Disable or uninstall any firewall or Internet connection sharing

software on your computers. Your base station will replace these

functions, and the Setup Wizard cannot proceed if they are enabled.

You have a Point-to-

Point Protocol over

Ethernet (PPPoE)

Internet connection

Make sure that you know your user name, password, and service

name. The Setup Wizard will prompt you to enter this information. For

information about how to determine your Internet settings, see

Appendix A, “Locating Your Internet and Network Settings.”
