(LAN). You can also mix computers with different operating
systems on your network and they will pass traffic through the
SOHO to access the Internet.
Follow these steps to add one or more computers to your Trusted
network:
1 Ensure that any additional computer has an Ethernet card
installed. Shut the computer down, connect it to the network
the same way you did in “Cabling the SOHO for more than
four computers” on page 34. Restart the computer.
2 Set the computer to obtain its address dynamically.
3 Turn off and restart the computer.
4 Release and renew the IP configuration.
see “Release and renew the IP configuration” on page 46. The computer
will then obtain its TCP/IP settings dynamically from the SOHO unit.
Configuring Static Routes
The SOHO allows you to configure static routes in order to pass
traffic to networks on separate segments. In other words, you can
have additional networks connected to a router or switch behind
the SOHO and the SOHO will route data packets to these
networks.
Follow these instructions to configure static routes:
1 With your Web browser, go to the SOHO System Status page
using the Trusted IP address of the SOHO.
For example, if using the default IP address, go to: http://192.168.111.1
2 From the navigation bar on the left side, select Network =>
Routes.
The Routes page appears.
