Preparing Your Network

Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed and selected as its 
networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) is already installed in your PC, then TCP/
IP is probably already installed as well.

Most operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/IP:

•

Windows

®

 95 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network. 

•

Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/
IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon.

•

Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a 
TCP/IP network.

•

All versions of UNIX® or Linux® include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions 
provided with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your 
computer.

In your IP network, each PC and the firewall must be assigned a unique IP addresses. Each PC 
must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a 
domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should 
install TCP/IP so that the PC obtains its specific network configuration information automatically 
from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of 
these configuration items, refer to “

The FVL328 Firewall is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The firewall assigns the 
following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the computers are rebooted:

•

PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254

•

Subnet mask—255.255.255.0

•

Gateway address (the firewall)—192.168.0.1

These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
