Connecting the Gateway to the Internet

For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your gateway, you will need to 
connect a computer to the gateway which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from 
the gateway via DHCP.

Please refer to 

 for assistance with DHCP 

configuration.

Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you will need one or more of these 
configuration parameters to connect your gateway to the Internet: 

•

Host and Domain Names

•

ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses

•

Fixed or Static IP Address

If you already have cable Internet service and are replacing a cable modem, you may neeed these 
parameters.

•

CG814M Gateway Cable and Device MAC Address, that can be found on the bottom of your 
gateway, or on the Basic Settings page.

•

The MAC Address of the PC that you use to access the internet.

There are several ways you can gather the required Internet connection information.

•

Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. 
If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it or you can try one of 
the options below.

•

If you have a computer already connected using the active Internet access account, you can 
gather the configuration information from that computer.

•

For Windows 95/98/ME, open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry for the 
Ethernet adapter, and click Properties.

•

For Windows 2000/XP, open the Local Area Network Connection, select the TCP/IP entry 
for the Ethernet adapter, and click Properties.
