Chapter 6 Advanced Configuration

The beginning and ending

IP

addresses define the

IP

address range of the

Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The

IP

address of the Gateway must be

on the same subnet as the

IP

address range it generates. For instance, if the

Gateway’s

IP

address is changed to 111.33.222.1, set the beginning

IP

address to

111.33.222.2, and the ending

IP

address to 111.33.222.254.
