2.1 Do I Need To Do Anything? There are three cases where you need to set up your modem in order to play online games. If you are using your computer to play a “peer-to-peer” or “head-to-head” game over the Internet, you always have to set up the modem unless you linked up to your partner by going to a web site.
2.2 Choosing an IP Address for Gaming You need to make sure that the computer or gaming system you use for playing games always has the same IP address. By default, the ADSL Ethernet assigns addresses dynamically (using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP) to the devices on the local area network whenever they reboot, and the addresses won’t necessarily always be the same.
Page 22
4 4 4 4 Before you can choose an IP address, you need to know the MAC (Media Access Control) address of your computer or gaming system. If you are using a computer to play an online game: If you know the name of your computer or if you have only one computer connected, you can find the MAC address under DHCP Clients (Leases) at the bottom of the DNS &...
