Configuring The Pcs On Your Network - SnapGear VPN appliance Family 1.7.8 User Manual

Configuring the PCs on your network

To access the Internet, all PCs on your network must have:
•
The IP address of the SnapGear appliance defined as their default gateway, and
•
Must use the DNS server provided by the ISP or the DNS proxy on the SnapGear
appliance.
You can enter these details manually (i.e. statically), or they can be dynamically assigned
by a DHCP server each time the PC boots.
To take advantage of the SnapGear appliance's DHCP server (or if you are already using
a DHCP server on the network), configure the computers on your network to use DHCP.
If you are using Windows 95/98, click the Configuration panel, TCP/IP-<your network
adapter>, Properties, then the IP Address panel.
If you are using Windows NT 4, click the Protocols panel, TCP/IP, Properties, and then
the IP Address panel.
