Phoneline 10M Cable/DSL Router

LAN IP Address These values refer to your internal network settings. Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to change these values. For the internal LAN, the default values are as follows.

•Private IP Address: 192.168.1.1

•Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note: If you have an existing DHCP server on your LAN and you don’t wish to use the HomeLink Phoneline Router as your new DHCP server, you must assign Router a static IP address. The Router’s IP address must be compatible with your existing network. You can not have two DHCP servers running on one LAN at the same time.

7.	Unless you already have a DHCP server on your internal network, choose
	Enable from the DHCP Server field. By choosing Enable, you will con-
	figure the HomeLink Phoneline Router to automatically assign IP address-
	es to each of your PCs. In the Number of DHCP Users box, enter the num-
	ber of PCs you plan on networking to the HomeLink Phoneline Router, or
	leave it alone. Don’t forget to change this number if, in the future, you add
	more PCs to your network.
8.	Click the Apply button, then click the Continue button.

WAN IP Address These values refer to the outside network you connect to every time you access your Broadband Internet connection. Most Broadband ISPs assign their clients with a different IP address each time they log on. If this is the case with your ISP, click Obtain an IP Address Automatically and continue to step 5. If your ISP assigns you a fixed IP address, click Specify an IP Address and enter the address into the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address and DNS fields provided by the ISP.

If you need to enable PPPoE support, choose Enable. If you do enable PPPoE, remember to remove any existing PPPoE applica- tions already on your computer. (More information on PPPoE can be found in the Setup section for the Web-based Utility.)

5.When you have properly configured the Setup page, click the Apply but- ton, then click the Continue button.

6.Choose the DHCP tab.

9. Reset the power on the cable or DSL modem, then restart the computer

so the computer can obtain the new HomeLink Phoneline Router’s IP infor-

mation.
