CHAPTER 4

External Network Configuration

When you configure the external network, you select the method
of communication between the SOHO 6 Wireless and the ISP.
Make this selection based on the method of network address
distribution in use by your ISP. The possible methods are static
addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE.

Network addressing

To connect to a TCP/IP network, each computer must have an IP
address. The assignment of IP addresses is dynamic or static.
• If the assignment is dynamic, the ISP assigns a different IP
address to a computer each time the computer connects to the
network. When the computer disconnects, the IP address is
made available to a different computer.
