Network Configuration

When your computer cannot be connected to the Internet, or you want to set the IP address manually, set the following
network configuration. When setting it manually, input the values (alphanumeric characters) according to the setting of
your broadband router currently in use. The necessary setting items vary depending on the Internet Service Provider
(ISP). See the materials provided from your ISP for details.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification (logical
address) that is assigned to computers and network devices connected to
the network (TCP/IP network).
In computer networks based on the Internet protocol suite, a subnet is a
'
portion of the network s computers and network devices. A subnet mask
can be used to specify which portion of the IP address should be used as
the network number for the subnet.
A default gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as
an access point to another network. All internet traffic passes through the
gateway.
In homes, the gateway is usually the ISP-provided device that connects the
user to the Internet, such as a DSL or cable modem.
The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various information with
domain names. A DNS server is a special type of computer on the Internet
used to support the DNS. ISPs give their customers the public IP address
of the DNS server.
In computer networks, a proxy server acts an intermediate gateway
between you and your Internet connection. The proxy server sends the
requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. The proxy
server also provides network firewall, connection sharing, and caching
technology for private networks. A client connects to the proxy server,
requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other
resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the
resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service
on behalf of the client.
DHCP is a protocol used by networked devices (clients) to obtain the
parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network. ISPs
usually use DHCP so that customers can reduce system administration
workload and join the Internet with minimum effort.
In DHCP, a computer joins the network without having a pre-configured IP
address. IP addresses are uniquely assigned to devices, then released and
renewed these addresses as devices leave and re-join the network.
