Configuring RideWay For Use With an ADSL (DSL) Modem
General: RideWay is an ideal solution for optimizing your ADSL or DSL modem access investment. Configuring your LAN for use with RideWay varies slightly from standard configuration with a dial-up modem connection. For your convenience, we have provided comprehensive configuration instructions. At anytime, you may contact rideway@dgl.com for further instructions.
REQUIREMENTS
IP Address: Some companies will provide you with a fixed IP address. If your company assigns IP addresses, make sure you have the proper IP address. If your ADSL or DSL subscriber server access assigns you different one each time you connect, then your connection is said to receive a dynamic IP address. In this case, do not worry about defining a public IP address.
Two (2) Ethernet or NIC (Network) Cards: The machine you install RideWay, or, your Server PC, will require two network cards. The first card, will handle your "public" connection while the second card, or your "private" card, will route each machine's request to and from the Internet to your client PCs.
DNS Number: Make sure your provider gives you a proper DNS number
DirecPC Address: In most cases, the ADSL or DSL modem itself will have a defined IP address. You can get this information from your provider.
EXAMPLE: Please use the following configuration as a guideline for configuring your LAN for use with your ADSL or DSL modem and RideWay. Any public addresses are for example (e.g. 204.184.71.19) only and should not be used. Any reference to a private IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) should be used exactly.
