6-6 Getting Started Guide
3. IP Easy Setup
The IP Easy Setup screen is where you enter information about your Netopia Router’s:
•Ethernet IP address
•Ethernet Subnet mask
•Domain Name
•Domain Name Server IP address
•Default gateway IP address
Consult with your network administrator to obtain the information you will need. For more information about setting up IP, see the Firmware User’s Guide chapter on “IP Setup”.

Enter an IP address in decimal and dot form (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Set up the basic IP & IPX attributes of your Netopia in this screen.
1.Select Ethernet IP Address and enter the first IP address from the IP address range your ISP has given you only if you are not using Network Address Translation (NAT). This will be the Netopia Router’s IP address.
The Ethernet IP Address defaults to an address (192.168.1.1) within a range reserved by the Internet address administration authority for use within private networks.
Because this is a private network address, it should never be directly connected to the Internet. Using NAT for all your connection profiles will ensure this restriction. See the Firmware User’s Guide chapter on “Multiple Network Address Translation (MultiNAT)” for more information.
2.Select Ethernet Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask your ISP has given you only if you are not using NAT. The Ethernet Subnet Mask defaults to a standard class mask derived from the class of the Ethernet IP address you entered in the previous step.
3.Press the Down arrow key until the editable field labeled Domain Name is highlighted.
If you have a static IP Address, that is, one that is permanently assigned by your ISP and never changes, type the Domain Name your ISP gave you. Press Return. The next field Primary Domain Name Server will be highlighted. If you are using DHCP or PPPoE, leave this field blank and skip Step 4.
