You are now connected to the router. 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. Typically, NAT is used. NAT automatically assigns

private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. Classical routing lets you

directly manage the IP addresses the FWG114P v2 uses.

Note

: If you choose not to use NAT, each computer on the LAN connected to the

FWG114P v2 must have a valid public IP address in the same subnet as the Wan port of

the FWG114P v2. For more information on NAT, please see

“Single IP Address Operation

Using NAT” on page B-7

. Furthermore, if you turn NAT off and plan to use VPN, you will

have to open UDP port 500 in the Security settings according to the instructions at

Basic Setup Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that prevent with you from connecting to the

Internet or connecting to the wireless firewall/print server.

Be sure to restart your network in the correct sequence.

Follow this sequence. Turn off the modem, wireless firewall/print server, and computer. Turn

on the modem first and wait two minutes. Next, turn on the wireless firewall/print server, and

finally the computer.

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.

•

For each powered on computer connected to the wireless firewall/print server with a securely

plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding wireless firewall/print server Local port status

light will be lit. The label on the bottom of the wireless firewall/print server identifies the

number of each Local port.

•

The Internet port status light on the wireless firewall/print server will be lit if the Ethernet

cable from the wireless firewall/print server to the modem is plugged in securely and the

modem and wireless firewall/print server are turned on.

Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.

LAN connected computers

must

be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via

DHCP, unless you have turned NAT off and are managing the IP addresses directly. For

instructions on these configuration settings, please see the

Reference Manual

FWG114P v2 Setup Wizard Auto Detection

There are two ways you can configure your firewall to connect to the Internet:

•

Let the FWG114P v2 auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

•

Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

These options are described below. Unless your ISP uses DHCP, you will need the parameters

from your ISP you entered in “Record Your Internet Connection Information” on page 3.

The Setup Wizard will can check for the following connection types:

•

Dynamic IP assignment

•

A login protocol, such as PPPoE

•

Fixed IP address assignment

Next, the Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and then display

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

modem. When the connection is properly made, the firewall’s Internet LED should be on.

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

Wizard-Detected Login Account Setup

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 a menu like the PPPoE menu in

Figure 3-9

:

Figure 3-9: Setup Wizard menu for PPPoE login accounts

1.

Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These

parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services, such as mail or news servers. If

you leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain

automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.

2.

Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case

sensitive. If you wish to change the idle timeout, enter a new value in minutes.

Note:

You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to

access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your firewall will automatically log

you in.

3.

The Idle Timeout setting determines how long to wait after there is no activity before

disconnecting from the Internet. This is useful in countries where Internet service charges are

based on the amount of time connected to the Internet. Whenever a computer on the network

requests access to the Internet the FWG114P v2 will automatically reconnect.

4.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically

transmit DNS addresses to the firewall during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter

the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is

available, enter it also.

Note:

If you enter an address here, after you finish configuring the firewall, reboot your PCs

so that the settings take effect.
