Getting on the Internet
In the first time of using Express Gate, or if Internet doesn’t seem to be working,
you have to manually configure network settings.
To configure network settings
1. Click Configuration Panel in the
LaunchBar.
2. In the Configuration Panel, click
Network.
3. Make the proper network configurations.
Each network interface is enabled
immediately when you check the box
next to it.
• LAN settings:
If you use a network cable connected to
a home router (which is then connected to your DSL/cable modem), enable
LAN 1. Express Gate will automatically use whichever port is connected.
If you computer automatically obtains network settings via DHCP, you don’t
need to click Setup for any LAN port. Otherwise, click Setup to configure the
static IP settings manually.
• WiFi settings (if supported):
If your motherboard supports wireless network, click Setup for the WiFi
option. In the WiFi tab of the Advanced Network Settings box, enter the
name of your wireless access point in the SSID field. If your wireless access
point has security enabled, select the corresponding security algorithm
from the drop-down list (e.g. WEP or WAP) in the Encryption Type field,
and enter the password. Click OK to enable WiFi and establish the wireless
connection.
• xDSL / Cable dial-up (PPPoE) settings:
If you use a network cable connected directly to your DSL/cable modem (no
router in between), click Setup for xDSL/cable dial-up. Choose whether the
DSL/cable modem is connected to your computer’s LAN port. Then enter the
user name and password of your dial-up account. Click OK to enable xDSL/
cable dial-up and establish the PPPoE connection. When PPPoE is enabled,
the port it uses will automatically be unchecked and grayed out.
