TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade ™ Broadband Router, you
must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use
the same IP subnet as the Barricade. The default network settings for the
Barricade are:
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
Chapter 5 to access the Barricade’s web configuration interface.
(See Chapter 4 for information on configuring the Barricade.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer, refer to
“Configuring Client TCP/IP” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the Barricade must be in the same IP subnet as the
Barricade. The default IP address of the Barricade is 192.168.2.1 (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 Barricade’s DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting Up
TCP/IP to Work with the Barricade” on page 5-5.
