Configuring The Macintosh For Ip Networking - NETGEAR FR314 Reference Manual

Reference Guide for the Model FR314, FR318 and FV318 Cable/DSL Firewall and VPN Routers
To check your PC's TCP/IP configuration:
On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
1.
The Run window opens.
Type , and then click OK.
2.
winipcfg
The IP Configuration window opens, which lists (among other things), your IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway.
Select your Ethernet adapter.
3.
The window is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are
using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends:
• The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.9
• The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• The default gateway is 192.168.0.1
At this point, your PCs can communicate with each other and with the firewall router, but they still
require DNS Server addresses in order to browse the Internet. The DNS Server addresses are not
assigned until after the firewall router is configured and the PCs are rebooted.
Note: Reboot all attached PCs again after your firewall router is configured, or the PCs
will not be able to browse the Internet. The firewall router cannot assign DNS addresses
to your PCs until after it is configured.
