typical with ISPs such as cable providers), a proxy server (or gateway router) may be used. A
proxy server allows multiple devices to connect to the Internet using a single routable IP address.
Many small routers from LinkSys, Dlink, and Netgear perform proxy server functions. If a proxy
server is used, WebRelay-Quad

If WebRelay-Quad

same address. If multiple WebRelay-Quad

with a default IP address of 192.168.1.2. If multiple units are used, change the IP address for each
unit (192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5 etc.).
