Configuring Client TCP/IP

18

Setting Up TCP/IP

To access the Internet through the Wireless Barricade™, you
must configure the network settings of the computers on your
LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Barricade™.
The default network settings for the Wireless Barricade™ 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 Wireless Barricade™’s web configuration interface.
See "Configuring the Wireless Barricade™ g Router"
on page 29 for information on configuring the Wireless
Barricade™.

If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to"Configuring Client TCP/IP" on page 15. 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 Wireless
Barricade™’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.
