Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Installing DSL

Content Type: text/plain

Hi, Jack -

The gateway is always the same because it's the dotted decimal in the
modem that connects you to the outside world. It will normally be
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or something similar. To make life not
confusing and because the Netgear hub/router has to have a gateway, I
always make the Netgear device 192.168.252.1 so I can easily
differentiate what I'm working with. The issue is not what it is but
that it is unique in some form or fashion and that the devices connected
to it are either set with it specified correctly or automatically detect
the gateway. They can do this even it it's on the high end of the
octet, third in my case, (or anywhere else, for that matter).

Practically nobody I know except the network dudes at a place with about
300 64-port routers where I used to be the *x sysadmin uses the high end
of things because they remember about multicast on the fourth octet at
255 which has no relevance to anything in this discussion. When I
talked to those network admins, they said they used the high end because
nobody else did. So, the network dudes knew fersure they didn't have
any conflicts.
