Bridging and IP Addresses

WARNING
3EC 17096 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 01
Basically, Bridging does not require any IP address at all: neither
in your PC(s), nor in your Speed Touch Home. However, in case
of Internet access or private IP networking, your PC(s) must be
configured for TCP/IP .
If your ISP or corporate administrator:
Provides you with an IP address, see section to configure it on
"
your PC;
Requires you to use DHCP , see section to configure DHCP on
"
your PC.
Alternatively, a second but Private IP address can be manually
configured for local IP communication. It depends on your OS
whether it supports this combination.
e.g. Microsoft supports Logical Multihoming via Registry keys.
Bridging & DHCP
For the STHome, DHCP is by default disabled. This is to avoid
conflicts with the DHCP Server of your ISP .
Setting the DHCP modes of your STHome is described in section
9.3.2.
