NEOBIT 1014VA ADSL Router User’s Guide Chapter3

Assigning static Internet information to your PCs

In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the NEOBIT 1014VA to assign it. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:

 Y ou have obtained one or more public IP addresses that

you want to alway s associate with specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as a public web server).

 Y ou maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are

described in Appendix A).

Before you begin, contact your ISP if you do not already have the following information:

 The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each

PC to which you will be assigning static IP information.

 The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In

most cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN port on the NEOBIT 1014VA. By default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address: 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number, or another number can be assigned by your ISP. See Chapter 5 for more information.)

 The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS)

server.

On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions on pages 18 through 22 relating only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.

Note

Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as the NEOBIT 1014VA’s LAN port. If you manually assign IP information to all your LAN PCs, you can follow the instructions in Chapter 5 to change the LAN port IP address accordingly.

Chapter3 NEOBIT 1014VA ADSL Router User’s Guide

Now that the USB driver installation is complete, you must configure the USB PC so that its IP properties place it on the same subnet as the NEOBIT 1014VA’s USB port. There are two ways to do this:

 The NEOBIT 1014VA is configured to assign an

appropriate IP address to the USB PC. If you want to use this automatic assignment feature, called “DHCP server,” you must configure the USB PC to accept dynamically assigned IP information. Follow the instruction on pages 18 through 22 that correspond to the operating system installed on the PC.

 If y ou want to assign a static IP address to the PC, follow

the instructions on page 23 and use the following information.

• In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, be sure to select the icon that corresponds to your new USB connection (not the one that corresponds to your Ethernet NIC). When you display the properties for the icon, the following text should display in the Connect Using text box:

GlobeSpan USB IAD LAN Modem #n

• The USB port on the NEOBIT 1014VA is preconfigured with these properties:

USB port IP address: 192.168.1.2 USB port subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Therefore, your PC must be configured as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.n where n is a

number from 2 to 254.

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.2
