Selecting an IP Address
If your networked computers do not support DHCP or you
would like to manually specify IP addresses, you need to
manually set the IP address on each computer. The
Broadband DSL/Cable Firewall Router is pre-configured
with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. The Broadband DSL/Cable Firewall Router
recognizes computers with IP addresses in the range of
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, with the exception of the
Broadband DSL/Cable Firewall Router’s default IP address,
192.168.1.1.
The following are the general guidelines for manually
assigning IP addresses and related settings to the
computers.
1. Assign the first computer an IP address of
192.168.1.2. Next assign a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, a gateway IP address of
192.168.1.1, and at least (primary) one DNS
server IP address that should be provided by your
ISP.
2. Assign the second computer an IP address of
192.168.1.3 and the same settings for the subnet
mask, gateway IP address, and DNS server IP
address as those in the first computer.
3. Continue assigning IP addresses and other
related settings.
