For the IP configuration of the network interface of the operating system, this means that an
IP address must be assigned that differs from the internal IP address of the mGuard (by de-
fault upon delivery this is 192.168.1.1).
(This relationship is shown in the above diagram by two black spheres.)
A third IP address is used for the interface of the mGuard to the WAN. It is used for connec-
tion to an external network (e.g., Internet).
9.3.2 Power-over-PCI mode
Stealth mode in Power-over-PCI mode
Figure 9-5 Power-over-PCI mode: Stealth mode
Since the network card functions of the mGuard pci are switched off in Power-over-PCI
mode, no driver software is installed for it.
A previously installed network card is connected to the LAN port of the mGuard pci, which
is located in the same computer or in another computer (see "Installing the hardware" on
page 164).
In Stealth mode, the IP address configured for the network interface of the operating system
(LAN port) is also used by the mGuard for its WAN port. This means that the mGuard does
not appear as a separate device with its own address for data traffic to and from the com-
puter.
In Stealth mode, PPPoE and PPTP cannot be used.
