Click Submit and reboot the SOHO 6 as necessary.
The SOHO 6 will now send all DHCP requests to the specified,
remote DHCP server and relay the resulting IP addresses to the
computers connected to the Trusted Network. If the SOHO 6 is
unable to contact the specified, remote DHCP server in 30
second, it will revert to using its own DHCP server to respond
to computer on the Trusted network.

Configure additional computers on the Trusted
Network

The SOHO 6 accepts connections from up to four computers.
Network a larger number of computers together using one or more
10BaseT Ethernet hubs with RJ-45 connectors. The SOHO 6 system
coexists with other systems over the same LAN (Local Area
Network). If you mix computers with different operating systems
on your network they pass traffic through the SOHO 6 to access
the Internet.
Follow these steps to add one or more computers to your Trusted
network:

1

Verify that each additional computer has an Ethernet card
installed. Shut the computer down, connect it to the network
the same way you did in “Cabling the SOHO 6 for more than
four computers” on page 20. Re
start the computer.

2

Set the computers to obtain their addresses using DHCP. For
instructions see, “Enable your computer for DHCP” on
page 16.

3

Turn off and restart each computer.
