Connecting the Firewall to the Internet
LAN Configuration Requirements
For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your firewall, you will need to
connect a computer to the firewall which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from
the firewall via DHCP.
Note:
Please refer to
Appendix C, "Preparing Your Network"
for assistance with DHCP
configuration.
Internet Configuration Requirements
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you will need one or more of these
configuration parameters to connect your firewall to the Internet:
•
Host and Domain Names
•
ISP Login Name and Password
•
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses
•
Fixed or Static IP Address
Where Do I Get the Internet Configuration Parameters?
There are several ways you can gather the required Internet connection information.
•
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.
If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it or you can try one of
the options below.
•
If you have a computer already connected using the active Internet access account, you can
gather the configuration information from that computer.
•
For Windows 95/98/ME, open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry for the
Ethernet adapter, and click Properties.
•
For Windows 2000/XP, open the Local Area Network Connection, select the TCP/IP entry
for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties.
•
For Macintosh computers, open the TCP/IP or Network control panel.
•
You may also refer to the FR328S Resource CD for the NETGEAR Router ISP Guide which
provides Internet connection infromation for many ISPs.
Once you locate your Internet configuration parameters, you may want to record them on the page
below according to the instructions in
“Record Your Internet Connection Information” on
page 2-3
