3.2. Checking your TCP/IP settings

The default IP address of the EV router is 192.168.1.1 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In simple terms this means that, in

order for your PC to talk to the router, the IP address of your PC's should be in the range from 192.168.1.2 to

192.168.1.254. If you already use TCP as your default network protocol and you don't use IP settings in the required range

then you will have to either permanently alter the settings of your computers to suite or change the default address of the

router. If you wish to alter the settings of all your PC's to suite then it is probably best to ask the person in charge of your

network setup to do this for you. If you want to alter the router then you will have to temporarily change the settings for

your PC.

Click on 'Specify an IP address' and, on the first screen (IP Address) enter a suitable address (e.g. as above) and the

subnet mask.

Now click on OK and, from the main Network screen click on OK.

Windows will now install the revised network settings; please note that your original Windows installation CD might be

required. You should then reboot your PC.

Goto network settings (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network).

Scroll down the list of network settings until you find the entry

showing TCP/IP. There may be several such entries (see example);

the one you need is the entry associated with your network card.

Select it and then click on Properties:

After checking your connections and TCP settings (see above) you

are ready to run your browser in order to configure the router.

Any browser can be used on any operating system: The

configuration screens are the same. If you are using Explorer then

click on your Explorer icon to start your browser.

When your browser starts up first check that it's using your LAN

for internet access. To do this in Explorer goto Tools/Internet

Options/Connections.

Then check that the setting 'Never dial a connection' is selected.

No other changes need to be made. If you're using Netscape then

no configuration is required for your browser to automatically use

your LAN.

Now enter the address of the router on the Address/URL line of

your browser. The browser should then load the startup page from

the router:
