ADVANCED > ROUTING
Routing
allows you to determine which physical interface address to use for
outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one router and subnet, you will need
to enable the routing table to allow packets to find the proper routing path and allow
different subnets to communicate with each other.
To enable the
Routing Table,
click the check box next to
Enable
in the related field.
You have to define:
Destination
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Hop: router’s position compared to this Device; if it is under this device, then input 2.
For example, if the host wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.3.88
(destination), it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via
192.168.1.33 (a gateway),
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
After the
routing table
setting is configured, click
Apply
.

Troubleshooting
If you
do not
wish to set the static IP address on your PC, you will need to
configure your PC to request an IP address from the gateway.
Click the Start button, select Settings, and select Control Panel.
Double-click the Network icon.
In the configuration tab, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has been
associated with your network card/adapter. If there is no TCP/IP line listed,
you will need to install TCP/IP now.
Click the
Properties
button.

Choose the
IP ADDRESS
tab. Select
Obtain an IP automatically
.
After clicking
OK
, windows might ask you to restart the PC. Click
Yes
.
CONFIRM YOUR PC’S IP CONFIGURATION
There are two tools which are great for finding out a computer’s IP
configuration: MAC address and default gateway.
WINIPCFG (for Windows 95/98)
Inside the windows 95/98 Start button, select Run and type winipcfg. In the
example below this computer has an IP address of
192.168.0.100 and the
default gateway is
192.168.0.1. The default gateway should be the network
device IP address. The MAC address in windows 95/98 is called the Adapter
Address.
NOTE:
You can also type
winipcfg
in the DOS command prompt.

IPCONFIG (for Windows 2000/NT/XP)
At the command prompt type
IPCONFIG
and press
Enter
. Your PC IP
information will be displayed as shown below.

Assigning a Static IP Address
Note:
Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP
Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable
Gateway/Router you will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign
a Static IP Address, please follow these instructions:
Go to
START
Double-click on
Control Panel
Double-click on
