Note
This page will only display if you previously selected
Manual configuration
. Otherwise
skip to the next step.
Enter an
IP address
and
Subnet mask
for your SnapGear appliance’s LAN connection.
You may choose to use the SnapGear appliance’s initial network settings if you are sure
no other PC or network device already has the address of
192.168.0.1
.
The
IP address
will later be used as the gateway address for the PCs on your LAN. To
gain access through this gateway, the PCs on your LAN must have an IP address within
the bounds of the subnet described by the SnapGear appliance’s IP address and subnet
mask (e.g. using the SnapGear appliance’s initial network settings, 192.168.0.2 –
192.168.0.254).
Take note of this IP address and subnet mask, as you will need them later on.
Click
Next
to set up your SnapGear appliance’s Internet connection settings and connect
to the Internet.
