Displays system IP settings, as well as DHCP Server, Firewall, UPnP and Wireless status. INFORMATION Displays the number of attached clients, the firmware versions, the physical MAC address for each media interface and for the Barricade, as well as the hardware version and serial number. Security Log Save Clear Refresh Displays illegal attempts to access your network. Click on this button to refresh the screen. 4-15 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE LAN Settings You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your client PCs, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or protocols. The Barricade must have an IP address for the local network. The LAN Settings parameters are listed below. Parameter Wireless Router IP Address IP Address IP Subnet Mask DHCP Server DHCP Server DHCP allows individual computers to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at startup from a centralized DHCP server. To dynamically assign an IP address to a client PC, enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) function. Description DHCP Server ID Enter the DHCP Server ID here. 4-16 HOME NETWORK SETTINGS Parameter Description DHCP IP Address The DHCP IP Address Pool is the range of IP addresses set Pool aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network. Start IP End IP Domain Name Lease Time This field indicates the first of the contiguous IP addresses in the IP address pool. This field indicates the last of the contiguous IP addresses in the IP address pool. The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer's IP address may change over time. If you have set any advanced features such as DMZ, this is dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change. 4-17 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE WAN Settings Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider. Specify Dynamic IP Address, PPPoE, PPTP or Static IP Address. Select the connection type and click More Configuration. 4-18 HOME NETWORK SETTINGS Dynamic IP The Host name is optional, but may be required by some Service Provider's. The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical interface on the Barricade. If required by your Service Provider, you can use the Clone MAC Address button to copy the MAC address of the Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your PC to replace the WAN MAC address. If necessary, you can use the Renew button on the Status page to renew the WAN IP address. Note: Make sure you record the MAC address that you clone, so that if you lose your settings you will be able to re-connect to the Internet. Click Save Settings to proceed, or Cancel to change your settings. 4-19 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE PPPoE Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, then it will be dropped. [. . . ] Action · Network Connection Problems Cannot ping the Barricade from the attached LAN, or the Barricade cannot ping any device on the attached LAN · Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, you should use the Barricade's DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on the attached LAN. However, if you manually configure IP addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address (network component of the IP address) and subnet mask are used for both the Barricade and any attached LAN devices. Be sure the device you want to ping (or from which you are pinging) has been configured for TCP/IP. · A-2 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Management Problems Cannot connect using the web browser · · Be sure to have configured the Barricade with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
