Choosing An Ip Address For Gaming - Hayes ADSL Duo Modem User Manual

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 Duo 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. However, the modem can be set up to assign
the same address to your computer or gaming system every time.
To ensure that your computer or gaming system always uses the
same address, follow the steps below.

If you are using Xbox or PlayStation 2, connect the device to
your modem with an Ethernet cable. (Since the ADSL Duo
has only one Ethernet port, if you are connected to your
computer via Ethernet you will need a "multi-port hub" to
expand the available Ethernet ports.) On your TV screen,
locate Network Settings and select Connect.
