Assigning static Internet Information to your PCs
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information to
some or all of your PCs directly (often called statically), rather
than allowing the ADSL Barricade to assign it. This option may
be desirable (but not required) if:
•
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that
you want to associate with specific computers (for example,
if you are using a computer as a public web server).
•
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are
described in IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets).
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand
(or contact your ISP if you do not know it):
•
The IP address and subnet mask you will assign to each
PC which will be assigned static IP information.
•
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most
cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN port on the ADSL
Barricade. By default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address:
[192.168.1.1.] (You can change this number, or another number
can be assigned by your ISP.) See Configuring the LAN Ports
on page 33 for more information.
•
The IP address of your ISP's Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
On each PC you will assign static information, follow the
instructions on pages 11 through 16 specific to the IP protocol.
Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for
displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for
the computer, the DNS server, and the default gateway, click the
radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.
