Appendix B- Configuring Tcp/Ip Settings - Dell SonicWALL GX250 Manual

APPENDIX B- CONFIGURING TCP/IP SETTINGS

The following steps describe how to configure the Management Station's TCP/IP
settings in order to initially contact the SonicWALL. It is assumed that the Management
Station can access the Internet through an existing connection.
The SonicWALL is pre-configured with the IP address "192.168.168.168". During the
initial configuration, it is necessary to temporarily change the IP address of the
Management Station to one in the same subnet as the SonicWALL. For initial
configuration, set the IP address of the Management Station to "192.168.168.200".
Make a note of the Management Station's current TCP/IP settings. If the Management
Station accesses the Internet through an existing broadband connection, then the TCP/
IP settings may be helpful when configuring the SonicWALL's IP settings.
From a Windows 95 or 98 computer, do the following:
1. From the Start menu, highlight Settings and then select Control Pan-
el.
2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.
