4.2. Checking your TCP/IP settings

The recommended IP address of the SAR router is 192.168.0.1 (default

address is 192.168.7.1 but previous section shows how to change this)

on subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In simple terms this means that, in

order for your PC to talk to the router, the IP address of your PC’s

should be in the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. If you

already use TCP as your default network protocol and you don’t use IP

settings in the required range then you will have to either permanently

alter the settings of your computers to suite or change the default

address of the router. If you wish to alter the settings of all your PC’s

to suite then it is probably best to ask the person in charge of your

network setup to do this for you

Goto network settings (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network).

Scroll down the list of network settings until you find the entry

showing TCP/IP. There may be several such entries (see example); the

one you need is the entry associated with your network card. Select it

and then click on Properties:

Click on ‘Specify an IP

address’ and, on the

first screen (IP Address) enter a suitable address (e.g. as above) and the

subnet mask. You need to ensure that each PC on your LAN has an IP

address which is both unique and within the subnet range of the routers

address e.g. in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 (assuming the IP

address for the router is

192.168.0.1 as described

above).

Next, for each PC you

must enter a Gateway

address. This is the

address of the router and

tells your PC where to

send internet TCP

requests:

Finally you must setup

DNS Configuration on

each PC:

Each PC MUST have

the address for DNS entered in it’s TCP setting. If your PC doesn’t have

a DNS setting then it will not be able to find any internet sites so it’s

important that you have this set correctly!

On the DNS Configuration screen you must Enable DNS and then enter a

Host name; this can be anything you like – just a made up name will do!

If you’ve followed the instructions given above then your router will

automatically be doing a feature called ‘DNS relay’. With DNS relay you

tell your clients (PC’s) to send their DNS requests to the router (as

against sending your requests through the router to the ISP’s DNS). The

router then forwards those requests to the true DNS and then passes any

replies back to the client. Therefore, you need to ‘add’ the address of the

router to the DNS list.
