2.Double-click the Network and Dialup Connections icon. 3.If an Ethernet adapter is present in your PC, you should see an entry for Local Area Connection. Double-click that entry. 4.Select Properties. 5.Verify that ‘Client for Microsoft Networks’ and ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’ are present. If not, select Install and add them. 6.Select ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’, click Properties, and verify that “Obtain an IP address automatically is selected. 7.Click OK and close all Network and Dialup Connections windows. 8.Make sure your PC is connected to the gateway, then reboot your PC. Verifying TCP/IP Properties To check your PC’s TCP/IP configuration: 1.On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run. The Run window opens. 2.Type cmd and then click OK. A command window opens 3.Type ipconfig /all Your IP Configuration information will be listed, and should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends: •The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 •The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 •The default gateway is 192.168.0.1 4.Type exit Configuring the Macintosh for IP Networking Beginning with Macintosh Operating System 7, TCP/IP is already installed on the Macintosh. On each networked Macintosh, you will need to configure TCP/IP to use DHCP. MacOS 8.6 or 9.x 1.From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. The TCP/IP Control Panel opens: 2.From the “Connect via” box, select your Macintosh’s Ethernet interface. 3.From the “Configure” box, select Using DHCP Server. You can leave the DHCP Client ID box empty. 4.Close the TCP/IP Control Panel. 5.Repeat this for each Macintosh on your network. MacOS X 1.From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then Network. 2.If not already selected, select Built-in Ethernet in the Configure list. 3.If not already selected, Select Using DHCP in the TCP/IP tab. 4.Click Save. Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Macintosh) After your Macintosh is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration by returning to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. The panel is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends: •The IP Address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 •The Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 •The Router address is 192.168.0.1 If you do not see these values, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch the “Configure” setting to a different option, then back again to “Using DHCP Server”. Your Internet Account For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user Internet access account using ADSL. The Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway includes a built-in ADSL modem that connects directly to your ADSL line. For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information (such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway) and VPI and VCI multiplexing information for one PC. Your ISP may also provide other login information, such as User Name and Password, in the case where the PPPoE or PPPoA protocol is required. With a typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your PC is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic information. In order to share the Internet connection among several computers, your gateway takes the place of the single PC, and you need to configure it with the TCP/IP information that the single PC would normally use. When the gateway’s ADSL port is connected, the gateway appears to be a single PC to the ISP. The gateway then allows the PCs on the local network to masquerade as the single PC to access the Internet through the broadband modem. The method used by the gateway to accomplish this is called Network Address Translation (NAT) or IP masquerading. Login Protocols Some ISPs require a special login protocol, in which you must enter a login name and password in order to access the Internet. If you normally log in to your Internet account by running a program such as WinPOET or EnterNet, then your account uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). When you configure your gateway, you will need to enter your login name and password in the gateway’s configuration menus. After your network and gateway are configured, the gateway will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to run the login program from your PC. It is not necessary to uninstall the login program. Account Information Unless these items are dynamically assigned by the ISP, your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account: •An IP address and subnet mask •A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP’s router •One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses •Host name and domain suffix For example, your account’s full server names may look like thi...
