Hotbrick Dual WAN Firewall Router VPN 800/2 User Manual

HotBrick Network Solutions 

For each PC, the following may need to be configured: 

•  TCP/IP network settings 
•  Internet Access configuration 

•  By default, the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a 

suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots. 

•  For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client. In 

Windows, this is called Obtain an IP address automatically. 
Just start (or restart) your PC and it will obtain an IP address from the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router. 

•  If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, refer to 

Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.
