Conguring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/ME You may nd that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots were created from Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98. Step 1. Congure TCP/IP Settings After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, you need to congure your computer to connect to your Barricade.
1. From the Windows desktop, click the “Start” button. Choose “Settings,” then click “Control Panel.” 2. From “Control Panel,” double-click the “Network” icon. 3. In the “Network” window, under the “Conguration” tab, double-click the “TCP/IP” entry that is listed with your network card.
4. Select the “IP Address” tab. If “Obtain an IP address automatically” is already selected, your computer is already congured for DHCP. Click “Cancel” to close each window, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.” 5. Locate your IP address and Subnet Mask. Record them in the spaces provided below. 6. Click the “Gateway” tab and record the numbers listed under “Installed gateways.” 7. Click the “DNS Conguration” tab. Locate the DNS servers listed under “DNS Server Search Order.

Disable HTTP Proxy You will need to verify that the “HTTP Proxy” feature of your Web browser is disabled. This is so that your Web browser will be able to view the conguration pages inside your Barricade. The following steps are for Internet Explorer and for Netscape.
Netscape 1. Open Netscape and click the stop button. Click “Edit,” then click “Preferences…” 2. In the “Preferences” window, under “Category” double-click “Advanced,” then click “Proxies.” Select “Direct connection to the Internet.” Click “OK.” 3. Repeat these steps for each Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to your Barricade. Step 3. Obtain IP Settings from Your Barricade Now that you have congured your computer to connect to your Barricade, it needs to obtain new network settings.
Conguring Your Computer with Windows 2000 Step 1. Congure TCP/IP Settings After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to congure your computer to connect to your Barricade. You also need to determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically, using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address.

Conguring Your Barricade Now that you have successfully congured your computer and retrieved your new network settings from your Barricade, you are ready to congure the Barricade’s settings for your LAN. 1. Open your Web browser (i.e., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and click the stop button. 2. In the “Address” eld type “http://192.168.2.1” and press . 3. The Barricade login screen will appear. Leave the Password eld empty and click on “login”. There is no password by default.
Using a password can protect your Barricade from unauthorized changes. Not using a password can easily leave your Barricade-and your network-open to security risks. We recommend using a password for the security of your network. If you use a password, write it down and keep it in a safe place, or make sure you can remember it. 6. In the “Change Password” screen, enter your current password in the “Current Password” eld. If you have not yet set a password, leave it blank.
By using the Barricade’s built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server you are allowing the Barricade to handle all the IP addressing on your Local Area Network (LAN). This can save you much of the time and hassle of administrating your network. If you have a server on your network that requires a static IP address, you may still use the DHCP server and manually assign a static IP address to your server. We recommend leaving the DHCP Server “Enabled.” 10.
If you connect to the Internet using a Cable Modem, your ISP probably uses DHCP to issue an IP address to you. If you use a Cable Modem or you know you use a dynamic IP address, please go to “Conguring Your Barricade for a Dynamic IP Address”. If you connect to the Internet using a DSL Modem, your ISP probably requires you to manually enter your TCP/IP settings. If you have a DSL connection or if you know you use a static IP address, please go to “Conguring Your Barricade for a Static IP Address”.
Conguring Your Barricade for a Dynamic IP Address 1. Select “Dynamic IP address,” and click “More Conguration.” Both options on this page for further conguring your dynamic IP address are optional, depending upon how your ISP works. If your ISP does not require you to change either of these, you may skip these settings. The @Home network usually requires your computer to have a “Host Name” to obtain an IP address from their network. 2. If you have a host name provided by your ISP (i.e.
3. If you need to “Clone” the MAC Address from your network card, click “Clone MAC Address.” The MAC Address eld will display the new address. 4. Click “ENTER” when nished. A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.smc-europe.com, a DNS server will nd that name in its index and nd the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience.
Congratulations! Conguration is complete and your Barricade is now connected to the Internet. There are also some advanced conguration options that may be congured, but we do not recommend making any changes to these options unless you need to. You can consult the User Guide for information on these advanced settings.
Conguring Your Barricade . for a Static IP Address 1. Select “Static IP address,” and click “More Conguration.” 2. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway provided to you by your ISP in the appropriate elds. You recorded these numbers earlier when you congured your computer to connect to the Barricade. 3.

4. Enter the DNS server address (es) in the spaces provided. 5. Click “ENTER” when nished. Many ISPs use modems that provide auto-conguration. Sometimes connection information is stored on the modem and needs to be updated. You may need to shut down and restart your modem after you have congured your Barricade. 6. Restart your DSL modem by removing the power, waiting a few seconds, and then reconnecting it. Congratulations! Conguration is complete and your Barricade is now connected to the Internet.

Click “ENTER” when nished. A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web addresses.
5. If you are connecting to the Internet through PPPoE, you probably do not need to enter anything here. However, if there is another DNS server that you would rather use, enter the DNS server addresses in the spaces provided. 6. Click “ENTER” when nished. Many ISPs use modems that provide auto-conguration. Sometimes connection information is stored on the modem and needs to be updated. You may need to shut down and restart your modem after you have congured your Barricade. 7.
