Verifying TCP/IP Properties for Macintosh Computers

To check the TCP/IP configuration after you configured and rebooted your Macintosh, return to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP.

The panel is updated to show your settings. They should match the values in the chart below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends.

If you do not see these values, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch the Configure setting to a different option, then switch back again to Using DHCP Server.

TCP/IP Configuration	Current NETGEAR Standard	Previous NETGEAR Standard
Computer or workstation	192.168.1.2 through	192.168.0.2 through
IP Address	192.168.1.254	192.168.0.254
Subnet mask	255.255.255.0	255.255.255.0
Gateway address for router	192.168.1.1 default address	192.168.0.1 default address

Verifying the Readiness of Your Internet Account

For broadband access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user Internet access account using a cable modem or DSL modem. This modem must be a separate physical box (not a card) and must provide an Ethernet port intended for connection to a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a computer. Your router does not support a USB-connected broadband modem.

For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information for one computer. With a typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your computer is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic information.
