Setting Up TCP/IP
To access the Internet through the Router, you must configure
the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the
same IP subnet as the Router. The default network settings for
the 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
Router’s web configuration interface. See “Configuring
the Wireless Barricade g Router” on page 26 for
information on configuring the Router.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to“Configuring Client TCP/IP” on page 12. 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 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
screenshots were created in Windows 98. Windows 95 and
Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to
Windows 98.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start/Settings/Control
Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, locate and double-click the Network
icon.
