Configure PCs to use SnapGear appliance Internet gateway
The PCs on your network must be configured to use the SnapGear appliance as the
default gateway for Internet access. See the section called
Configuring the PCs on your
network for more information.
Establishing the connection
If you are connecting to your ISP using a modem or ISDN connection, the SnapGear
appliance will automatically place a call when an application requires access to the
Internet (e.g. sending e-mail, browsing the web, etc).
To establish the connection:
1. From any PC on the network, launch a browser application (e.g. Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator).
2. The SnapGear appliance will dial the ISP and log in. On the front panel, the COM
LED will flash when establishing the connection.
3. The ONLINE LED will light when the Internet link is created and your browser will
display the default home page.
4. If Dial-on-demand/Idle time is enabled, the SnapGear appliance will also
disconnect from the Internet when the connection is idle for the specified period.
Internet access is automatic if you are using a permanent connection device (e.g. cable
modem) or if you are using ADSL or an analog modem configured to stay connected.
