If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so
you don't have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV's Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get
the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
NOTES
You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP
also let you use static IP addresses.
