Reference Guide for the Model RO318 Cable/DSL Security Router

3-8

Preparing Your Network

 

An IP address and subnet mask

A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP’s router

One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses

Host name and domain suffix

For example, your account’s full server names may look like this:

mail.xxx.yyy.com

 

In this example, the domain suffix is 

xxx.yyy.com

.

If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your router automatically acquires them. 
If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of the broadband modem, or if you 
configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy configuration information 
from your PC’s Network TCP/IP Properties window (or Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel) before 
reconfiguring your PC for use with the router. These procedures are described next.

Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows)

As mentioned above, you may need to collect configuration information from your PC so that you 
can use this information when you configure the Model RO318 router. Following this procedure is 
only necessary when your ISP does not dynamically supply the account information. 

To get the information you need to configure the router for Internet access:

1.

On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2.

Double-click the Network icon.

The Network window opens, which displays a list of installed components.

3.

Select TCP/IP, and then click Properties.

The TCP/IP Properties dialog box opens.

4.

Select the IP Address tab.

If an IP address and subnet mask are shown, write down the information. If an address is 
present, your account uses a fixed (static) IP address. If no address is present, your account 
uses a dynamically-assigned IP address. Click “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

5.

Select the Gateway tab.

If an IP address appears under Installed Gateways, write down the address. This is the ISP’s 
gateway address. Select the address and then click Remove to remove the gateway address.
