Configuring the Cable/DSL VPN Router

Now that the Cable/DSL VPN Router is wired into your network, you can begin
configuring your system.
Note: If the TCP/IP protocol is not configured on your PC, go to
"Appendix F: Installing the TCP/IP Protocol" for TCP/IP installation
instructions now.
1. Open your web browser and type
http://192.168.1.1 in the browser's
Address box. This number is the
default IP address of the Router.
Press the Enter key.
2. A User Name and Password prompt will appear. Leave the User Name field
empty, and type admin (the default password) in the Password field. Click
the OK button. If the screen does not appear, make sure your network
adapter is working properly, the network cable is connected, and the Link
LED is lit up on the Router. Restart the computer to obtain an IP address
automatically.
Important: If you have previously enabled an Internet Sharing
Proxy Service on any of your PCs, you must disable it now.
