Setting Up Your Computer’s IP Address

Skip this section if your computer is already set up to accept a dynamic IP

address. This is the default for most new computers.

The ZyWALL is already set up to assign your computer an IP address. Use this section to set up your

computer to receive an IP address or assign it a static IP address in the 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 range

with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that your computer can communicate with

your ZyWALL.

Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be installed on

computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.

Windows 2000/NT/XP

1. In Windows XP, click start, Control Panel. In Windows 2000/NT, click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

3. Right-click Local Area Connection and then click Properties.

4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (under the General tab in Win XP) and click Properties.

5. The Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen opens (the

General tab in Windows XP).

- To have your computer assigned a dynamic IP address, click

Obtain an IP address automatically.

-To configure a static IP address, click Use the following IP

Address and fill in the IP address (choose one

from192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254), Subnet mask

(255.255.255.0), and Default gateway (192.168.1.1) fields.

6. Click Advanced. Remove any previously installed gateways in

the IP Settings tab and click OK to go back to the Internet

Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen.

7. Click Obtain DNS server address automatically if you do

not know your DNS server IP address(es).

If you know your DNS server IP address(es), click Use the

following DNS server addresses, and type them in the

Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields.

If you have more than two DNS servers, click Advanced, the

DNS tab and then configure them using Add.

8. Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

window.

9. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection Properties

window.

Checking Your Computer’s IP Address

1. In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt.

2. In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig" and then press ENTER. Your computer’s IP address must be in

the correct range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in order to communicate with

the ZyWALL.

Refer to your User’s Guide for detailed IP address configuration for other Windows and Macintosh computer

operating systems.
