Preparing Your PCs for Network Access
August 2003
The
Local Area Connection Properties
dialog box appears.
Verify that you have
the correct Ethernet card selected in the
Connect using:
box and that the following
two items are displayed and selected in the
box of “Components checked are used by
this connection:”
•
Client for Microsoft Networks and
•
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Click

.
With Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selected,
click on
Properties
to open the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialogue
box. Verify that

is selected.
•
Obtain DNS server address
automatically
is selected.
Click

again to
complete the configuration process.
Restart the PC. Repeat these steps for each
PC with this version of Windows on your
network.

Verifying TCP/IP Properties for Windows XP or 2000
To check your PC’s TCP/IP configuration:
1.
On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
The Run window opens.
2.
Type
cmd
and then click OK.
A command window opens
3.
Type
ipconfig /all
Your IP Configuration information will be listed, and should match the values below if you are
using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends for connecting through a
router or gateway:
•
The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
•
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
•
The default gateway is 192.168.0.1

Glossary

Glossary
Use the list below to find definitions for technical terms used in this manual.
10BASE-T
IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring.
100BASE-Tx
IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring.
802.1x
802.1x defines port-based, network access control used to provide authenticated network access and
automated data encryption key management.
The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic
to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. 802.1x uses a protocol called EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) and supports multiple authentication methods, such as token cards,
Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, and public key authentication. For details on EAP specifically,
refer to IETF's RFC 2284.
802.11b
IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)
technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz.
802.11g
A soon to be ratified IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. 802.11g is
backwards compatible with 802.11b.
ADSL
Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper
telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and
from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).
ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world
gain access.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address (called
a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address.
A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host
on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address. There is

also Reverse ARP (RARP) which can be used by a host to discover its IP address. In this case, the host
broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with the host's IP address.
Auto Uplink
Auto Uplink
TM
technology (also called MDI/MDIX) eliminates the need to worry about crossover vs.
straight-through Ethernet cables. Auto Uplink
TM
will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
connection.
CA
A Certificate Authority is a trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used
to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs.
Cat 5
Category 5
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. An Ethernet network operating at 10 Mbits/second
(10BASE-T) will often tolerate low quality cables, but at 100 Mbits/second (10BASE-Tx) the cable must be
rated as Category 5, or Cat 5 or Cat V, by the Electronic Industry Association (EIA).
This rating will be printed on the cable jacket. Cat 5 cable contains eight conductors, arranged in four
twisted pairs, and terminated with an RJ45 type connector. In addition, there are restrictions on maximum
cable length for both 10 and 100 Mbits/second networks.
Certificate Authority
A Certificate Authority is a trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used
to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs.
The role of the CA in this process is to guarantee that the individual granted the unique certificate is, in fact,
who he or she claims to be. Usually, this means that the CA has an arrangement with a financial institution,
such as a credit card company, which provides it with information to confirm an individual's claimed
identity. CAs are a critical component in data security and electronic
commerce because they guarantee that
the two parties exchanging information are really who they claim to be.
DHCP
An Ethernet protocol specifying how a centralized DHCP server can assign network configuration
information to multiple DHCP clients. The assigned information includes IP addresses, DNS addresses, and
gateway (router) addresses.
DMZ
Specifying a Default DMZ Server allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on
the Internet for services that you haven't defined. There are security issues with doing this, so only do this if
you'll willing to risk open access.
DNS
Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses.
