Determine how your Internet Service Provider (ISP) issues
your IP address. This will affect the installation process.
Call your ISP to find out whether your Internet connection
supports static addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE.
Before you begin, confirm that you have a working Internet
connection. Then follow these steps to install your SOHO 6:
1
Look up the computer's TCP/IP settings and record them
for later use. Refer to "Determine your current TCP/IP
settings" in the WatchGuard ® Firebox ® SOHO 6 User Guide.
2
Set up your computer to use DHCP. Refer to "Enable your
Computer for DHCP" in the WatchGuard Firebox
SOHO 6 User Guide.
3
Confirm that your Web browser's HTTP proxy is disabled.
Refer to "Disable the HTTP proxy setting" in the
WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 User Guide.
4
Shut down your computer. If you connect to the Internet using a DSL/cable
modem, disconnect the power from this device.
5
Disconnect the Ethernet cable that runs from your DSL/cable modem or
other Internet connection to your computer and connect it to the WAN
port on the SOHO 6.
6
Connect one end of the straight-through Ethernet cable supplied with your
SOHO 6 into any of the four, numbered Ethernet ports (labeled 0-3) on the
SOHO 6. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer.
7
If you connect to the Internet using a DSL/cable modem, restore the power
to this device. When the indicator lights of the modem stop flashing, the
modem is ready for use.
8
Attach the AC adapter to the SOHO 6 and connect it to a power source.
9
Restart your computer.
10
If your ISP supplies static IP addressing, or uses PPPoE, then do the following:
a. Change your computer to use DHCP addressing. Refer to "Configuring
the SOHO External Network for Static Addressing," in theWatchGuard
Firebox SOHO 6 User Guide.
b. With your Web browser, go to the System Status page using the Trusted
IP address of the SOHO 6, http://192.168.111.1. From the navigation
bar on the left side, click Network => External.
c. Select either Manual Configuration (for static IP addressing) or PPPoE
Client from the Configuration Mode drop list.
d. Enter the TCP/IP settings or the PPPoE information you recorded in
Step 1 above.
