After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices,
you need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade. First
determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these
numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated numbers,
which you must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP address
determines how you need to configure your computer. See this section for
Windows 95/98/Me configuration. See “Windows NT 4.0” on page 3-8,
“Windows 2000” on page 3-13, “Windows XP” on page 3-17, or
“Configuring Your Macintosh Computer” on page 3-21 depending on
your operating system.
TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade, you must configure the
network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet
as the Barricade. The default network settings for the Barricade 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
to access the
Barricade’s Web configuration interface in order to make the
required changes. (See “Configuring the Barricade” on page 4-1
for instruction on configuring the Barricade.)
