Configuring a DHCP connection for an external device or 1-Meg
modem
In this procedure, you configure the Instant Internet unit to use a WAN-side
DHCP server.
Before you begin this procedure, make sure that your Ethernet device (for
example, a router, cable modem, or xDSL modem) or 1-Meg modem is plugged in
and has an active connection to your ISP.
Do one of the following:
• If you have an active and valid connection to your ISP, you do not need to take
any action in this procedure. Your external device or 1-Meg modem
connection is automatically configured with the DHCP server. Continue with
the procedure "Finishing the connection configuration" on page
• If the Enter IP Information for interface connected to DHCP device dialog
box (Figure 14) opens, you are not connected to your ISP or the connection is
unavailable. Follow this procedure to set up your external device or 1-Meg
modem connection.
