The web-based utility will appear with the Setup tab selected. Based on the
setup instructions from your ISP, you may need to provide the Host Name
and Domain Name (usually cable ISPs require them). These fields allow
you to provide a host name and domain name for the Router and are usual-
ly left blank.
The values for the Router’s LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown
on the
Setup
screen. The default values are 192.168.1.1 for the IP Address
and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.

The Router supports four connection types: Automatic Configuration -
DHCP (obtain an IP automatically), Static IP, PPPoE, and PPTP. These
types are listed in the drop-down menu for the Configuration Type setting.
Each
Setup
screen and available features will differ depending on what kind
of connection type you select. Proceed to the instructions for the connec-
tion type you are using, and then continue to step 5.
IMPORTANT:
If you have previously enabled any
Internet-sharing
proxy server software
on any of your PCs, you must disable it now.
Some examples of Internet-sharing software are Internet LanBridge,
Wingate, ICS, and Sygate.
To disable your Internet-sharing software:
• If you are running Netscape Navigator, click
Edit
,
Preferences
,
Advanced
, and
Proxies
. Click
Direct Connection to the Internet
.
• If you are running Internet Explorer 5.x or higher, click
Tools
,
Settings
,
Control Panel
,
Internet Options
,
Connections
, and
LAN Settings
. Remove checkmarks from all three boxes. Click the
OK
button to continue.
You must also disable any
Internet log-on software
(such as Ivasion
Winpoet or Enternet 300) and any
firewall software
(such as
ZoneAlarm and Watchdog) on all of your PCs.
Chapter 5: Configure the
Router’s Basic Settings
This chapter will show you how to configure the Router to function in your
network and gain access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Detailed description of the Router’s web-based utility can be found in
“Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility.”
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access.
Because you are now using the Router to share Internet access among
several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Router
instead of your PC. You only need to configure the Router once using the first
computer you set up.
