the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed and the company firewall is likely to deny
the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0 through
the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:
The
Destination IP Address
and
IP Subnet Mask
fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
The
Gateway IP Address
field specifies that all traffic for these addresses will be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
The
Private
check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP
is activated.
To set up a static route:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.

check box.
If the
Private
checkbox is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.

To make this route effective, select the
Active
check box.
9.
Type the IP address of the final destination.
