FR328S ProSafe Firewall with Dial Back-Up Reference Manual v2

3-2 Connecting the Firewall to the Internet

M-10207-01, Reference Manual v2

Configuration Requirements

For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your firewall, you will need to

connect a computer to the firewall which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from

the firewall via DHCP.

Note: For assistance with DHCP configuration, please refer to the animated Windows TCP/IP

Configuration Tutorials on the Resource CD (SW-10045-01) or in Appendix C, "Preparing Your

Network".

Internet Configuration Requirements

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

configuration parameters to connect your firewall to the Internet:

• Host and Domain Names

• ISP Login Name and Password

• ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses

• Fixed or Static IP Address

Where Do I Get the Internet Configuration Parameters?

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

• Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet.

If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it or you can try one of

the options below.

• If you have a computer already connected using the active Internet access account, 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.

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

for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties.

• For Macintosh computers, open the TCP/IP or Network control panel.

• You may also refer to the FR328S Resource CD for 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 according to the instructions in “Record Your Internet Connection Information” on

page 3-3.
