Appendix C-2 Preparing Your Network to Work with a Router

202-10065-01

For the initial setup of your router, you will need to connect a computer to the router. This

computer has to be set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the router via DHCP.

Note: For help with DHCP configuration, please use the Windows TCP/IP Configuration Tutorials

on the Resource CD.

Internet Configuration Requirements

Depending on how your Internet service set up your account, you may need one or more of these

configuration parameters to connect your router to the Internet:

• Host and Domain Names

• ISP Login Name and Password

• ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses

• Fixed IP Address, which is also known as the Static IP Address

Where Do I Get the Internet Configuration Parameters?

There are several ways you can gather the required Internet connection information:

• Your Internet service provides all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you

cannot locate this information, you can ask your Internet service provider to provide it or you

can try one of the options below.

• If you have a computer already connected to the Internet, you can gather the configuration

information from that computer.

— For Windows 95/98/ME, open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry for the

Ethernet adapter, and click Properties. Record all the settings for each tab page.

— For Windows 2000/XP, open the Local Area Network Connection, select the TCP/IP entry

for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties. Record all the settings for each tab page.

— For Macintosh computers, record the settings in the TCP/IP or Network control panel.

• You may also refer to the Resource CD or the NETGEAR Router ISP Guide, which provides

Internet connection information for many ISPs.

Once you locate your Internet configuration parameters, you may want to record them on the page

below.
