IP Address Assignment Method (IPCP)
Fixed IP: Check "No (Dynamic IP)" unless your ISP has pro-
vided you with a static IP address.
Fixed IP Address: If your ISP has provided you with a static IP
address enter it here.
LAN2/WAN IP Network Settings
Obtain an IP address automatically: Sets the LAN2/WAN
interface as a DHCP client that will ask for the IP network set-
tings from the DHCP server or PPTP-enabled DSL modem.
Specify an IP address: If you are not sure whether there are
any DHCP services on the LAN2/WAN interface, you also can
manually assign an IP address to the interface. Note that the
IP Address and Subnet Mask should be assigned within the
same network as the PPTP-enabled DSL modem.
Click "OK".
3.4.3 Using a Static IP with a DSL/Cable Modem
In this application, you receive a fixed public IP address or a public
subnet from your DSL or Cable ISP. In most cases, a Cable ISP will
provide a fixed public IP, while a DSL ISP will provide a public subnet.
If you have a public subnet, you should choose an IP address to
assign to the LAN2/WAN interface.
