Note
If you have changed the SnapGear unit's LAN connection settings, it may become
uncontactable at this point. This step describes how to set up the PCs on your network
to access the SnapGear unit and the Internet.
Connect PCs and/or your LAN hub to switch A on the SnapGear unit.
Set up the PCs on your LAN
Each PC on your LAN must now be assigned an appropriate IP address, and have the
SnapGear unit's LAN IP address designated as its gateway and as its DNS server.
A DHCP server allows PCs to automatically obtain these network settings when they start
up. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you may either manually set up each
PC on your network, or set up the SnapGear unit's DHCP server.
(recommended) To use the SnapGear unit's built-in DHCP server, proceed to
Automatic configuration of your LAN.
If your LAN already has a DHCP server that you will use instead of the SnapGear
unit's built-in DHCP server, proceed to Automatic configuration of your LAN using an
existing DHCP server.
If you do not want to use a DHCP server, proceed to Manual configuration of your
LAN.
Automatic configuration of your LAN
By selecting Manual Configuration for the SnapGear unit's LAN connection, and
supplying DHCP Server Address Range, the SnapGear unit's DHCP server is already
set up and running.
Each PC on your LAN must now be set up to automatically obtain network settings.
Click Start > (Settings >) Control Panel and double-click Network Connections (or in
95/98/Me, double-click Network).
If presented with multiple connections, right-click on Local Area Connection (or
appropriate network connection) and select Properties.
