After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices,
you need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade.
See:
“Windows 2000” on page 3-2
“Windows XP” on page 3-5
“Configuring Your Macintosh Computer” on page 3-7
depending on your operating system.
TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade, you must configure the
network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet
as the Barricade. The default IP settings for the Barricade are:
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note:
These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements,
but you must first configure at least one computer to access the
Barricade’s web configuration interface in order to make the
required changes. (See “Configuring the Barricade” on page 4-1
for instruction on configuring the Barricade.)

Disable HTTP Proxy
You need to verify that the “HTTP Proxy” feature of your web browser is
disabled. This is so that your browser can view the Barricade’s HTML
configuration pages. See page 3-5 for details.
Obtain IP Settings from Your Barricade
Now that you have configured your computer to connect to your
Barricade, it needs to obtain new network settings. By releasing old DHCP
IP settings and renewing them with settings from your Barricade, you can
verify that you have configured your computer correctly.
