Connecting the FWG114P to the Internet

3-9

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that prevent with you from connecting to the 
Internet or connecting to the wireless firewall/print server.

Follow this sequence. Turn off the modem, wireless firewall/print server, and computer. Turn 
on the modem first and wait two minutes. Next, turn on the wireless firewall/print server, and 
finally the computer. 

•

For each powered on computer connected to the wireless firewall/print server with a securely 
plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding wireless firewall/print server Local port status 
light will be lit. The label on the bottom of the wireless firewall/print server identifies the 
number of each Local port. 

•

The Internet port status light on the wireless firewall/print server will be lit if the Ethernet 
cable from the wireless firewall/print server to the modem is plugged in securely and the 
modem and wireless firewall/print server are turned on. 

LAN connected computers must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via 
DHCP, unless you have turned NAT off and are managing the IP addresses directly. For 
instructions on these configuration settings, please see the Reference Manual on the Resource 
CD for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g  Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P (SW-10023-02).

There are two ways you can configure your firewall to connect to the Internet:

•

Let the FWG114P auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

•

Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it.

These options are described below. Unless your ISP uses DHCP, you will need the parameters 
from your ISP you entered in “Record Your Internet Connection Information” on page 3.

The Setup Wizard will can check for the following connection types:

•

Dynamic IP assignment

•

A login protocol, such as PPPoE
