Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway
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
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.
Specify a Static IP Address
Select this option if assigned a static (specific)
IP
Address by the ISP. Enter the
IP
Address, along with the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address (also pro-
vided by the
ISP
), in the “Broadband Connection via Static
IP
Address” screen. If
required to provide a Host Name and Domain Name, enter them here as well.
