4 LAUNCH YOUR BROWSER This section describes the steps required to configure your router using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This will provide a basic configuration for Internet access. 1. From any PC on your local network, launch your web browser. 2. In the Address box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER. 3. A log-in box will appear. For Name, enter admin. For Password, enter 1234. If your router's configuration password has been previously changed from the factory default of 1234, enter the current password. 4. At the opening screen, select WIZARD SETUP. 5. In the first Wizard screen, enter your account's Host Name and Domain Name. 6. Click Next to go to the ISP Parameters screen. This screen determines whether a login program will be run. a. If your service provider does not require a login program, leave Encapsulation as Ethernet and proceed to Step 7. b. If your service provider uses PPPoE, select Encapsulation as PPPoE, and enter these additional parameters: - If your connection supports multiple ISPs, enter the Service Name of the one you use. Otherwise leave Service Name blank. - Enter the user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case sensitive. - If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in seconds. Proceed to Step 7. c. (Europe) If your service provider uses Alcatel's ANT (ADSL Network Termination) with PPTP as a login method, select Encapsulation as PPTP, and enter these additional paramenter: - Enter the PPTP login user name and password provided by your ISP. - If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in seconds. - If provided by your ISP, enter your PPTP IP Address and the Server IP Address of their PPTP Server. - If provided by your ISP, enter the Connection ID/Name for yoour service. Otherwise leaves this field blank. Proceed to Step 7. c. If your service provider is RoadRunner AND you are required to run a RoadRunner login program, leave Encapsulation as Ethernet and select Service Type as either RR-Manager or RR-Toshiba. Enter these additional parameters:. - If your cable modem is Toshiba, select RR-Toshiba. Otherwise select RR-Manager. - Enter the user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case sensitive. - If RoadRunner provided an authentication server address, enter it as Login Server IP address. Otherwise, leave this field as 0.0.0.0. Not all RoadRunner regions require a login program. If your region does not require a login, leave Service Type as Standard. 7. Click on Next to go to the final Wizard screen shown below. a. WAN IP Address Assignment: Unless your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address for your use, select "Get automatically from ISP". Otherwise, enter your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and the IP Address of your ISP's gateway router. b. DNS Server Address Assignment: If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select "Use this server" and enter the IP address of the ISP's DNS server. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you should reboot your PCs after configuring the router. c. WAN MAC address: If your ISP allows access by only one specific PC's Ethernet MAC address, select "Spoof this PC's MAC address" and enter the IP address of that PC. - For convenience, the IP address of the PC you are now using should already appear. If this is not the PC whose MAC address is to be used, enter that PC's IP address. - Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that PC by using its MAC address. 8. Click Finish. 5- TEST YOUR CONNECTION Accessing the Internet Click the NETGEAR Web site address to test your Internet connection. When your router and PCs are configured correctly, your router automatically accesses the Internet when one of your LAN devices requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer application, such as Dial-Up Networking or RoadRunner Login, to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed by the router as needed. To access the Internet: 1. From the PC connected to your router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page. If you have trouble accessing the Internet, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of this guide. Configuring for Content Filtering and Reporting After you have successfully configured your router for Internet access, you can configure it for content filtering and reporting by following these steps: 1. Re-enter the browser configuration by accessing http://192.168.0.1, logging in if necessary. 2. Click Advanced, then Security. To receive logs and alerts by e-mail: a. Select the e-mail tab and enter your e-mail account's Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server name. b. Enter the e-mail address to which the router should send logs and alerts. c. Select when you would like to receive logs and alerts. d. Click Apply. 3. To specify blocking of keywords in Web site names, or blocking of Internet domains: a. Click the Keywords tab. b. Click the Enable Keyword Blocking checkbox. c. Enter the keywords or domain names that you wish to block access to. For each entry, type the entry and click Add Keyword. d. Click Apply.
