TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade™ Broadband Router,
you must configure the network settings of the computers on your
LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Barricade. The default
network settings for the Barricade are:
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the
Barricade’s Web configuration interface. (See Chapter 4 for
information on configuring the Barricade.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to “Installing TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the Barricade must be set to the same IP
subnet as the Barricade. The default subnet address of the
Barricade is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254) and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs
either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the
Barricade’s DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting
TCP/IP to Work with the Barricade” on page 5-3.
