To save your entries and proceed to the next screen, click Next.

Start the Setup Wizard in LANconfig. Highlight the device to be configured. The Setup Wizard is started either by right-clicking and using the context menu, or with the Magic Wand icon in the toolbar

In the Setup Wizard, select the option Set up Internet access.
You can choose from the following options:
- Set up a connection for both IPv4 and IPv6. This is the recommended option for a new device.
- Set up an IPv4-only connection.
- Set up an IPv6-only connection.
- Supplementing an existing IPv4 connection with IPv6
In the following we take you through the setup of a dual-stack connection. Activate the appropriate selection.
Set the interface to be used for the connection.
