WinRoute acts as a router. As such it requires two basic TCP/IP settings on each computer in your network. Note that the following only applies to clients. The WinRoute host should have a static IP assigned to the private interface.
The Default Gateway on each computer accessing the Internet through the WinRoute computer; must be set to the IP address of the Ethernet interface of the WinRoute computer that links to the LAN.
Example:
Client computer has IP address 10.10.10.23 while WinRoute PC has two interfaces, one linking to the cable modem with an IP from the ISP and another one linking to the private network (10.10.10.1). The default gateway for the computer at 10.10.10.23 will be set as 10.10.10.1.
Note 1: When creating IP address space within your local network you must use the IP address from the same subnet. i.e. if the subnet mask you use is 255.255.255.0 then all addresses must be from 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.254.
Note 2: You may have more networks connected to the Internet through WinRoute. You may have more Interfaces in the WinRoute computer, one for each network. Then each of these interfaces (their IP address) represents the default gateway for the rest of the network connected to it.
