Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a NETGEAR FM114P Cable/DSL ProSafe Wireless Firewall with
Print Server. A firewall is a special type of router that incorporates features for network security.

and share the single modem with several computers. The FM114P also incorporates a built-in
print server.
This installation guide shows you how to connect the firewall and configure it and your
computers for secure Internet access. Setup is easy—follow the instructions in this guide and
your system will be up and running quickly.
If you have problems, there is a troubleshooting section on page 13 to help you—or you can

Gather Configuration Information for
Your Working Connection to the Internet
Before installing the FM114P firewall, you
should have an external DSL or cable
modem with an Ethernet port set up and
working with one computer. You’ll be
installing the firewall between the modem
and the computer.
For each computer that you want to con-
nect to the firewall, you must have
•
An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or
adapter) — either built-in or from a
network interface card (NIC) installed
in the computer
OR
an 802.11b-compliant wireless adapter.
•
TCP/IP installed.
•
If your computer is a Windows
®
computer, it must have the Client for Microsoft
®
Networks software installed.
Note: Please see the Reference Manual on the CD if you need help installing
TCP/IP software or the Client for Microsoft Networks software on any Windows
computer that hasn’t been networked previously.
•
A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable
Note: There is one cable in the box with the firewall.

Connection information
Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the firewall to work with your network. A
Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. You can configure the firewall
yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about your
current Internet connection.
The next page includes blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the needed
information from your computer:
•
(Windows 98/Me) Open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry, and
click Properties.
•
(Windows 2000/XP) Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties.
•
(Macintosh
®
) Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel.
Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect
your computer to the Internet. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.
An ISP Guide is included with your firewall’s documentation, either as a printed card or on the
Resource CD.
The ISP Guide contains specific configuration guidelines for connecting to
