The Installation Process

An operational Internet connection. Setup of your SOHO requires access to the Internet. If your connection does not work, please contact your Internet service provider (ISP). When your connection has been established, you may proceed with installation and setup.

If you have either a cable or DSL modem, consult the manual that came with your service, or call the ISP to find out whether your particular modem supports DHCP or PPPoE. You will need this information later in the installation process.

If you are using PPPoE to connect to your local Internet service provider, the WatchGuard SOHO must be running firmware version 2.0 or later.

An installed Web browser–either Netscape Navigator 4.77 (or higher) or Internet Explorer 5.0 (or higher).

SOHO serial number.

The Installation Process

Before you begin the installation process, connect to the Internet. You need to determine your current TCP/IP settings and disable your HTTP proxy.

NOTE You must also know whether your ISP provides you with Dynamic or Static TCP/IP settings. For assistance, please see, “Determining whether your ISP uses dynamic or static addressing” on page 38.
