Configuring Client TCP/IP

14

Setting Up TCP/IP
To access the Internet through the Barricade™ Router, you must
configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to
use the same IP subnet as the Barricade™ Router. The default
network settings for the Barricade™ Router are:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings may be changed to suit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in this chapter to access the
Barricade™ Router’s Web configuration interface.
See “Configuring the Barricade™ Router” on page 35
for information on configuring the Barricade™ Router.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to “Configuring Client TCP/IP” on page 11. The IP address
of the connected client PC should be 192.168.2.x (where x
means 2–254). You can set the IP address for client PCs either
by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Barricade™
Router’s DHCP service or by manual configuration.

Configuring Your Computer in Windows 95/98/Me

You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your
version of Windows. This is because these steps and screen
shots were created in Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows
Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows
98.
