Configuring Windows 95, 98, And Me For Tcp/Ip Networking; Install Or Verify Windows Networking Components - NETGEAR FWG114Pv2 - Wireless Firewall With USB Print Server Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P v2
In your IP network, each PC and the firewall must be assigned unique 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 automatically from a
DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of these
configuration items, refer to
The FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The
firewall assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the
computers are rebooted:
• PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
• Gateway address (the firewall)—192.168.0.1
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
