Obtain your TCI/IP configuration via DHCP
Once the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, you need to add certain information on
each computer to ensure that other network devices can be accessed. The FSG is
preconfigured to automatically forward this information to all computers connected to
its LAN ports. The computers can obtain this information from FSG's internal DHCP
server. To use DHCP with the recommended default addresses, please follow the
instructions step by step:
1. Start the FSG and wait until it boots. The LED ring lights up once the boot process is
complete. (This may take up to 30 seconds.) Connect all computers to the LAN port
on the FSG.
2. Open the Network Control Panel on each of the attached computers and go to the
'Configuration' tab.
3. Select TCT/IP->(your Ethernet adapter) from the list of network components and
click 'Properties'.
4. Go to 'Obtain an IP address automatically' on the IP Address tab.
5. Open the 'Gateway' tab.
6. If any Gateways are listed, delete them.
7. Click 'OK'.
8. Restart your computer. Repeat steps 2 - 8 on each computer in your network.
