Chapter 5 — Configuring Tcp/Ip; Hardware And Operating System Requirements - Netopia R910 User Reference Manual

Be sure the computer you use to configure your Netopia R910 has TCP/IP software and hardware properly
configured to work with a router and the network service provider you will be using. Typically, this means that
you will have your computer set up to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the router, although other
options are possible. This chapter is a general guide to configuring TCP/IP connectivity for your PC or
Macintosh. Consult your computer's documentation for more detail.
