CONFIGURING CLIENT TCP/IP

To access the Internet through the Gateway Broadband Router, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as that defined for the Gateway. The default network settings for the Gateway are:

IP Address: 192.168.2.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note:These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must first configure at least one computer as described in Chapter 3 "Configuring Client TCP/IP" to access the Gateway's Web configu- ration interface. (See Chapter 4 "Configuring the Gateway" for information on configuring the Gateway.)

All PCs connected to the Gateway must be set to the same IP subnet as the Gateway. The default subnet address of the Gateway is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2-254) and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Gateway's DHCP service or by manual configuration. See Section 3.2 "Setting TCP/IP to Work with the Gateway".
