Internet Configuration Requirements
Depending on how your ISPs set up your Internet accounts, 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 IP Address which is also known as Static IP Address
Where Do I Get the Internet Configuration Parameters?
There are several ways you can gather the required Internet connection information.
•
Your ISPs provide all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate
this information, you can ask your ISPs 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. Record all the settings for each tab page.
–
For Windows 2000/XP, open the Local Area Network Connection, select the TCP/IP entry
for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties. Record all the settings for each tab page.
–
For Macintosh computers, open the TCP/IP or Network control panel. Record all the
settings for each section.
•
You may also refer to the
FR538G
Resource CD
for the NETGEAR Router ISP Guide which
provides Internet connection information for many ISPs.
