Turn on the Cable or DSL modem and wait about 30 seconds for the lights to stop

blinking.

2. Log in to the Firewall

Note: To connect to the firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP

address automatically via DHCP. Please refer to Appendix C, "Preparing Your Network" for

instructions on how to do this.

a. Turn on the firewall and wait for the Test light to stop blinking.

b. Now, turn on your computer.

Note: If you usually run software to log in to your Internet connection, do not run that

software.

Now that the Cable or DSL Modem, firewall, and the computer are turned on, verify the

following:

• When power on the firewall was first turned on, the PWR light went on, the TEST light

turned on within a few seconds, and then went off after approximately 10 seconds.

• The firewall’s LOCAL LINK/ACT lights are lit for any computers that are connected to it.

• The firewall’s INTERNET LINK light is lit, indicating a link has been established to the

cable or DSL modem.

c. Next, use a browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape to log in to the firewall at its default

address of http://192.168.0.1.
