3-8 Preparing Your Network

VerifyingTCP/IP Properties (Macintosh)

After yourMacintosh is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configurationby
returning to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Appl em enu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP.
The panel is updatedto show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using
the default TCP/IPsettings that NETGEAR recommends:
• The IP Addressis between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
• The Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• The Routeraddress is 192.168.0.1
If you do not see thesevalues, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch
the “Configure”setting to a different option, then back again to “Using DHCP Server”.
Your Internet Account
For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet serv ice provider (ISP) for a
single-userInternet access account using an external broadband access device such as acable
modem or DSLm odem.This modem must be a separate physical box (not a card) and must
providean Ethernet port intended for connection to a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a PC. Your
routerdoes not support a USB-connected broadband modem.
