Network Configuration of Your Computer

You must have a network interface card installed on your computer and configure the TCP/IP protocol stack

properly. For Windows® 95/98/NT, please configure your computer as a DHCP client.

While your Prestige operates in Router mode, you have to further configure it through the console port.

In router mode, you do not need to ask your cable company for a special configuration. The Prestige can act

as a DHCP client to acquire an IP address from the headend. Besides, it can act as a DHCP server at the LAN

port and assign an IP address to your computers on the LAN subnet. What you have to do is to configure the

LAN port with the proper IP address and netmask. If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN subnet,

you can disable the DHCP server in the Prestige but you have to assign an IP address/ netmask for the LAN

port.

For more details, please refer to Chapter 3 – Internet Access.
