Setting IP Addresses
The IP address settings, which include the IP address, subnet
mask and gateway IP address are the first and most important
settings that need to be configured. The internet server comes
with a default Local LAN IP address and subnet mask assigned.
If you do not have a preexisting IP network and are setting one up
now, using the factory default IP address settings can greatly ease
the setup process. If you already have a preexisting IP network,
you should adjust the IP settings for the internet server to fit
within your existing scheme. Both cases are discussed below. Be-
fore proceeding, please make sure that you have physically
connected all components in the LAN, including the internet
server, the hub or switch and the computers, as described in the
previous chapter.
Using the Default IP Address
The internet server comes with a preset default IP address setting
of 192.168.100.1. There are two ways to use this default IP ad-
dress. The first way is to manually set the IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway on each computer. Different operating
systems and network software suites will have a different proce-
dure/application for setting the system IP. In Windows 3.1 and
3.11, find the TCP manager and choose TCP/IP then "Setup". In
Windows 95/98, click on the START button and choose Control
Panel. In the window that opens, double-click on the Network
icon. Under the Configuration tab, find or add a TCP/IP compo-
nent and edit the address settings accordingly.
