2 Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address

Skip this section if your computer is already set up to accept a dynamic IP
address. This is the default for most new computers.
The ZyWALL is already set up to assign your computer an IP address. If you set the ZyWALL to
router mode, use this section to set up your computer to receive an IP address or assign it a static IP
address in the 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is
necessary to ensure that your computer can communicate with your ZyWALL.
Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be installed
on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.
