Connecting the Hub to the Network

• I wanted now to move the hub and connect to my main network and thus connect the old PC wirelessly to the Internet.
• I will not go into detail, but first time this did not go well.
• After much mucking about I found that I had to add additional configuration info to the old PC to get it to connect properly.
• The reason for this was that I run a DNS server and a DHCP server on my network and the old PC wasn't seeing them properly.
• To configure these, I went back to the 'Network Connections' on the PC and right clicked the wireless connection selecting Properties from the drop down box.
• 
• On the Networking tab I chose Internet Protocol then Properties button.
• 
• On the General tab I ticked 'Use the following DNS server' and entered the IP address 192.168.1.xxx of my network DNS server.
• I clicked the Advanced button and clicked the 'Add' button below the Default Gateway box.
• I added the IP address 192.168.1.xxx of my default gateway then clicked 'Add' the OK and OK again then Close and exited the Network Connections panel.
• 
• That cured the problem.
• To check that this has worked, open a browser and insert an address in the address bar, e.g., www.google.com. This should connect you to the well known search engine's site.
