Chapter 3: Connect the USB VPN &
Firewall Adapter
Overview
The Adapter's setup consists of more than simply plugging hardware together.
You will have to configure your networked PC to accept the IP address that the
Adapter assigns to your computer, and you will also have to configure the
Adapter with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Contact your ISP for the correct settings if you do not have the information
available.
Once you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet
connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Adapter.
The diagram in Figure 3-1 shows a typical configuration.

Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off,
including the Adapter, PCs, cable or DSL modem, and/or Router.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on the Adapter (see
Figure 3-2) and the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your PC
(see Figure 3-3.)
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Adapter,
and the other end to an Ethernet port (LAN port) on a Router. If you are not
using a Router, you can connect it directly to a cable or DSL modem.
