Chapter 3: Configuring Client PCs
TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway, you must
configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP
subnet as the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway. The default network settings for the
CheetahAccess Internet Gateway are:
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must
first configure at least one computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the
CheetahAccess Internet Gateway’s Web configuration interface. (See Chapter
4 for information on configuring the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer, refer to “Installing
TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway must be set to the same
IP subnet as the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway. The default subnet address of
the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254) and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs either
by automatically obtaining an IP address from the CheetahAccess Internet
Gateway’s DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting TCP/IP to Work
with the Barricade” on page 5-3.
Printer Client Installation
If you need to provide print services for devices attached to the CheetahAccess
Internet Gateway, then install the Port Monitor program from the CheetahAccess
Internet Gateway CD (for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000), and configure the
CheetahAccess Internet Gateway’s print server on each network station. The
CheetahAccess Internet Gateway printer server supports Windows 95/98/ME/NT/
2000, and Unix platforms. Refer to Chapter 6: “Configuring Printer Services.”
