Macintosh for IP Networking

In your IP network, all PCs and the router must be assigned IP addresses. Each PC must also have

certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a domain name server

(DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should install TCP/IP so that the

PC obtains its specific network configuration information from a DHCP server during bootup. For

a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of these configuration items, refer to

"Appendix B, "Networks, Routing, and Firewall

The Model RO318 router is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The router assigns the

following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are rebooted:

•

PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.31

•

Subnet mask—255.255.255.0

•

Gateway address (the router)—192.168.0.1

These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
