CONFIGURING CLIENT TCP/IP

To access the Internet through the Gateway Broadband Router,

you must configure the network settings of the computers on

your LAN to use the same IP subnet as that defined for the

Gateway. The default network settings for the Gateway are:

IP Address: 192.168.2.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note:These settings can be changed to fit your network

requirements, but you must first configure at least one

computer as described in Chapter 3 "Configuring

Client TCP/IP" to access the Gateway's Web configu-

ration interface. (See Chapter 4 "Configuring the

Gateway" for information on configuring the

Gateway.)

All PCs connected to the Gateway must be set to the same IP

subnet as the Gateway. The default subnet address of the

Gateway is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2-254) and the subnet

mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs

either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the

Gateway's DHCP service or by manual configuration. See

Section 3.2 "Setting TCP/IP to Work with the Gateway".
