Connection information
Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the firewall to work with your network. A
Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. Alternatively, you can configure
the firewall yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about
your current Internet connection.
The next page includes blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the needed
information from your computer:
• Open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry, and click Properties.
(Windows 98/Me)
• Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties. (Windows 2000/XP)
• Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel. (Macintosh®)
Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect
your computer to the Internet. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.
An ISP Guide is included with your firewall’s documentation, either as a printed card or on the
Resource CD. The ISP Guide contains specific configuration guidelines for connecting to
many popular ISPs.
