STATIC CONFIGURATION (OPTIONAL)
If you are manually configuring your computer on the Local Area Network for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following:
1. Go to Start Menu/Settings/Control Panels and double click the Network icon. From the Network components list, select the Configuration
tab.
2. Select TCP/IP-->Your Network Card. Then select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties screen (shown below), select the IP Address tab. Click
“Specify an IP Address.”
Enter the following:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, or for 12-user models, 255.255.255.240
This address is an example of one that can be used to configure the router with the Easy option in the SmartStart Wizard.
4. Click OK in this window, and the next window. When prompted, reboot the computer.
Note: You can also use these instructions to configure other computers on your network with manual or static IP addresses. Be sure each computer
on your network has its own IP address.
CONFIGURING TCP/IP ON MACINTOSH COMPUTERS
The following is a quick guide to configuring TCP/IP for MacOS computers. Configuring TCP/IP in a Macintosh computer requires the following:
Ⅲ You must have either Open Transport or Classic Networking (MacTCP) installed.
Note: If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server built into your Netopia Router to assign IP addresses to your
Macintoshes, you must be running Open Transport, standard in MacOS 8, and optional for MacOS 7.5 and above. You can have your Netopia
Router dynamically assign IP addresses using MacTCP; however, to do so requires that the optional AppleTalk kit be installed which can only
be done after the router is configured.
Click on the DNS Configuration tab. Click Enable DNS. Enter the following
information:
Host: Type the name you
want to give to this
computer.
Domain: Type your domain
name. If you don't have a
domain name, type your
ISP's domain name; for
example, your ISP.com.
DNS Server Search
Order: Type the primary
DNS IP address given to you
by your ISP. Click Add.
Repeat this process for the
secondary DNS.
Domain Suffix Search
Order: Enter the same
domain name you entered
above.
3. Click on the Gateway tab (shown below). Under “New
gateway,” enter 192.168.1.1. Click Add. This is the
Netopia Router’s pre-assigned IP address.
