Determine how your Internet Service Provider (ISP) issues
your IP address. This changes the way you install your
Firebox X Edge. If necessary, call your ISP to find out
whether your Internet connection supports static
addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE.
Before you begin, make sure that you have a working Internet
connection. Then follow these steps to install your Edge:

Look up the computer's TCP/IP settings and write them
down for later use. Refer to "Finding your TCP/IP properties"
in the WatchGuard ® Firebox® X Edge User Guide.

computer to use DHCP" in the User Guide.
