telephone modem.

Your IP Configuration should look similar to the screenshot below. The

values in the IP Configuration dialog box were obtained from the SOHO

itself. The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway entries must be

completed and have the values displayed for address sharing to work as in

the figure below. If you obtain different results, see “Troubleshooting

installation and network configuration” on page 25.

Configuring your private network

Out of the box, the SOHO automatically uses DHCP to assign
addresses to any computer on your private network. In other
words, every time you connect a computer to the SOHO, either
directly or through a hub, it automatically attempts to obtain its
addresses from the SOHO itself.
