Cable Modem Connection
If you connect to the Internet using a cable modem, your ISP
probably uses DHCP to issue an IP address to you.
1. If you use a cable modem or you know you use a dynamic IP
address, click on the "Cable Modem" radio button to display the
IP address configuration screen.
A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web
addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as
www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server will find that name in its index
and find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs
provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are
connecting to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely
that your DNS servers are also provided dynamically.
2. If you are connecting to the Internet with a dynamic IP
address, you probably do not need to enter anything here.
However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use,
enter the DNS server addresses in the spaces provided.
3. Click "FINISH" when completed.
Fixed-IP xDSL Connection
1. If you connect to the Internet using a Fixed-IP xDSL, click the
"Fixed-IP xDSL" radio button on the Broadband Type screen.
2. Your ISP probably requires you to manually enter your TCP/IP
settings. If you have an xDSL connection or if you know you use
a static IP address, enter the IP address information in the
spaces provided.
3. Click "FINISH" when completed.
