Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports

C-2 Preparing Your Network

202-10085-01, March 2005

In your IP network, each PC and the firewall must be assigned a unique IP addresses. Each PC

must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a

domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should

install TCP/IP so that the PC obtains its specific network configuration information automatically

from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of

these configuration items, refer to “Appendix B, “Network, Routing, Firewall, and Basics.”

The FVS124G VPN Firewall is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The firewall assigns the

following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are rebooted:

• PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254

• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0

• Gateway address (the firewall)—192.168.1.1

These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.

Configuring Windows 95, 98, and Me for TCP/IP Networking

As part of the PC preparation process, you need to manually install and configure TCP/IP on each

networked PC. Before starting, locate your Windows CD; you may need to insert it during the

TCP/IP installation process.

Install or Verify Windows Networking Components

To install or verify the necessary components for IP networking:

1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Network icon.

The Network window opens, which displays a list of installed components:

1 2 ... 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 ... 237 238
