Connecting the FVL328 to the Internet

a.

You are now connected to the firewall. If you do not see the menu above, click the Setup

Wizard link on the upper left of the main menu.

b.

Choose NAT or Classical Routing. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses

(192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP

addresses the FVL328 uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced

users.

c.

Click Next and follow the steps in the Setup Wizard for inputting the configuration

parameters from your ISP to connect to the Internet.

Note:

If you choose not to use the Setup Wizard, you can manually configure your

Internet connection settings by following the procedure

“Manually Configuring Your

Internet Connection” on page 3-10

.

Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration automatically via DHCP, you

will need the configuration parameters from your ISP as you recorded them previously in

“Worksheet for Recording Your Internet Connection Information” on page C-3

d.

When the firewall successfully detects an active Internet service, the firewall’s Internet

LED goes on. The Setup Wizard reports which connection type it discovered, and displays

the appropriate configuration menu. If the Setup Wizard finds no connection, you will be

prompted to check the physical connection between your firewall and the cable or DSL

line.

e.

The Setup Wizard will report the type of connection it finds. The options are:

•

Connections that require a login using protocols such as PPPoE, Telstra BigPond, or

PPTP broadband Internet connections.

•

Connections that use dynamic IP address assignment.

•

Connections that use fixed IP address assignment.

The procedures for filling in the configuration menu for each type of connection follow

below.

Configuring for a Wizard-Detected Login Account

If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses a login protocol such as

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), you will be directed to the PPPoE:
