Set up your LAN to access the Internet

To access the Internet, each PC on your LAN must be assigned an appropriate IP

address, and have the SnapGear unit’s LAN IP address designated as its gateway and

as its DNS server.

A DHCP server allows PCs to automatically obtain these network settings when they start

up. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you may either manually set up each

PC on your network, or

set up the SnapGear unit’s DHCP server.

 (recommended) To use the SnapGear unit’s built-in DHCP server, proceed to

Automatic configuration of your LAN.

 If your LAN already has a DHCP server that you will use instead of the SnapGear

unit’s built-in DHCP server, proceed to Automatic configuration of your LAN using an

existing DHCP server.
