Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE or PPPoA
Select this option to allow the Gateway to use the Point-to-Point over Ethernet
(
PPPoE ) or Point-to-Point over ATM ( PPPoA ) protocol.
If a User Name, Password and/or Static IP was entered during Basic Setup, it
should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via
PPPoE/PPPoA ” screen. If
not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable, contact the
Internet Service Provider (
ISP) .
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option (used for cable modem configurations without a Static IP
assigned by an ISP ) to allow the modem to query the Internet Service Provider ( ISP)
and receive IP address and routing information. Some ISP s need to authenticate
their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check
with the
ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the “Broadband
Connection via DHCP ” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the
text boxes blank.
☞
Note: Host and domain name information may also be accessed
from the computer originally connected to the cable modem.
