Connecting the Router and the Modem 1. Connect the Broadband modem to the computer using an Ethernet cable without the router installed and make sure that the Internet connection is active. If it is not, contact your Internet Service Provider. 2. Shut down the computer, and unplug the power cables to both the router and the Broadband modem. 3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer and plug it into the Internet or WAN port of the router. 4. Take the Ethernet cable that came with the router (or any another available cable) and connect it to the computer. Then, take the other end of that same cable and connect it to Port 2 on the back of the router. 5. Plug in the Broadband modem's power cable and wait for all of its lights to stop blinking. 6. After the lights on the Broadband modem stop blinking, plug in the router's power cable. 7. Start up the computer. Obtaining the PC's MAC Address Windows 98SE/ME 1. Click on the Start menu, then click on the Run option. 2. When the ?Run? window opens, input winipcfg into the ?Open? field, then click on the OK button. 3. The ?IP Configuration? window should appear, select the Ethernet Adapter that the PC is using from the drop down list. 4. Make note of the ?Adapter Address? which is the MAC Address. Windows XP/2000 1. Click on the Start menu, then click on the Run option. 2. When the ?Run? window opens, input cmd into the ?Open? field, then click on the OK button. 3. When the ?MS DOS Prompt? appears, input ipconfig /all then click on the [Enter] key. 4. Make note of the ?Physical Address? of the Ethernet Adapter (normally ?Local Area Connection?). Accessing the Setup Page 1. Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. 2. When the browser window opens, go to the Address bar and type in the router's IP Address and click on the Go button (192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of Linksys Routers). 3. A window will appear prompting for a ?User Name? and a ?Password?. Leave the ?User Name? field blank, and type in the router's password and click on the OK button to login (admin is the default password). 4. The router's web-based ?Setup? utility should then load. Cloning the MAC Address The steps for configuring the MAC Address Cloning feature of a Linksys router vary depending on the firmware version the router is currently using. From the router?s ?Setup? page, locate the Linksys logo in the upper left-hand corner of the page. Follow the instructions below depending on which logo matches your specific screen: If the logo matches the image above ("Linksys - A Division of Cisco Systems, Inc."), follow these steps. If not, skip to the next logo version. 1. From the ?Setup? page, click on the MAC Address Clone sub-tab. 2. In the ?MAC Clone? section, set the option to Enable. 3. Click on the Clone Your PC?s MAC button. Once this is done, the ?User Defined Entry? will show MAC Address of the Ethernet Adapter of the computer you are using. Verify this address with the ?Adapter Address? or ?Physical Address? observed in earlier steps. 4. Click on the Save Settings button. Then, click the Continue button if prompted. If the logo matches the image above ("Linksys"), follow these steps: 1. From the ?Setup? page, click on the Advanced tab. 2. When the ?Filters? page loads, click on the MAC Addr. Clone tab. 3. When the ?MAC Address Clone? page loads, enter the the ?Adapter Address? or ?Physical Address? that was observed in earlier steps. 4. Click on the Apply button. Then, click the Continue button if prompted. Power Cycling 1. Shut down the computer. 2. Unplug the router?s power cable. 3. Unplug the Broadband modem?s power cable. 4. Wait for 30 seconds. 5. Plug in the Broadband modem?s power cable and wait for its lights to stop blinking. 6. Plug in the router's power cable once the modem?s lights stop blinking. 7. Finally, start up the computer and test the Internet connection.

SOURCE: IP ADDRESS

hello!

Checking the IP address of the computer allows you to verify if the computer is getting a valid IP address from the router. You have to check the TCP/IP properties of the Ethernet Adapter installed on the computer.

Finding the local IP address of a Linksys router is useful when accessing the router’s web-based setup page. This will identify what IP address to type in the Address bar, in case you forgot your router’s IP address. For instructions, please follow the steps below.

NOTE: Linksys default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The default Gateway IP Address of your computer is the routers ip address

Windows 2000/XP

Step 1: Click Start, then Run.
Step 2: When the Run window opens, type “cmd” in the Open field, then click OK.
Step 3: When the MS DOS Prompt appears, type “ipconfig/all” then press [Enter].
Step 4: Check your computer’s IP Address, Default Gateway and DNS. They should have the same first three numbers. It can be any number other than 169.254.x.x. The default IP Address is 192.168.16.x where x is any number from 100-149 and Default Gateway is 192.168.16.1. In this example, we used Local Area Connection.

Windows 98/ME

Step 1: Click Start, then Run. A window similar to Step 2 will appear.
Step 2: When the Run window appears, type “winipcfg” in the Open field, then click OK.
Step 3: When the IP Configuration window appears, select the Network Adapter or the Wireless Adapter that the PC is using from the drop-down menu.
Step 4: Check your computer’s IP Address and Default Gateway. They should have the same first three numbers. It can be any number other than 169.254.x.x. The default IP Address is 192.168.16.x where x is any number from 100-149 and the default Gateway is 192.168.16.1.

NOTE: If your computer is getting 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address you need to release and renew your IP address.

Connect a computer to linksys lan port 1-4, point browser to linksys http://192.168.1.1 under Setup->Basic Setup->Internet Settings choose "Static IP" and fill in the fields below... the field for gateway should be set to the static ip of your cable modem. the field for netmask should probably be 255.255.255.0. It may help to turn on DHCP for local network so that lan hosts can get their ip's from the linksys.

So you want the public IP address that your Netopia router is getting to do a 1 to 1 NAT to the private IP address 192.168.1.136? Basically you want to bypass any of the firewall restrictions of the router?

The caveat with this configuration is that if you don't have any other public IP addresses for the actual Netopia router to use then all other devices on your network will now longer be able to access the internet through the router. Only if you have a public IP address that you can assign the router will it be able provide NAT and internet access to the rest of your network.

The 192.168.1.0 network is not routable on the public network. You need your entire network to NAT through your router using a public IP address.

You configuration will work if the Netopia router will allow a 1 to 1 NAT to another node on the network and allow NAT'ing for the rest of your private network concurrently. Of course you need at least (2) public IP addresses in the same subnet as well.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need better clarification.
