Certain IP address rangesare reserved for public networks (e.g. theInternet).Private ad-dress rangee.g. 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0SubnetmaskA subnet mask is a bit mask used formaking decisions and assignments dur-ing routing.255.255.255.0 is the standard subnetmask in home networks.Gateway A gateway is a network device which al-lows all other network devices to accessthe Internet.This can be the computer connected tothe DSL modem or – usually – the routeror access point within the network.Parameter SettingNameserverThe name server is responsible for as-signing a unique IP address to a web ad-dress or URL (e.g. www.google.de). Alsoknown as DNS (Domain Name Server).When a domain name is entered into abrowser, the DNS searches for the cor-responding IP address of the server andforwards the query on.The IP of the provider’s DNS can be en-tered here. However, it is often sufficientto select the IP of the gateway. This thenforwards the queries independently to theprovider DNS.DHCP The DHCP server automatically assignsthe IP address, subnet mask, gatewayand name server to a network device.DHCPs are available in current routers.The DHCP service must be specially setand activated (see the correspondingmanual for more information).Note:When using fixed IP addresses and aDHCP server, make sure that the fixed IPaddresses are outside the address rangeassigned by DHCP. Otherwise, problemscould occur.
