How do I obtain Internet Protocol (IP) settings from my Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
1. Make sure that the cable or xDSL modem is connected properly to the Wireless Broadband Router.
2. Reset the cable or xDSL modem by powering the modem off and on.
3. If you are using dynamic IP addressing, make sure that the cable or xDSL modem is DHCP capable. For assistance,
consult the modem's documentation.
4. Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address with them:
To view the WAN Ethernet MAC address, start the web-based configuration tool. Click the Device Status tab.

Status page, refer to the

How do I install TCP/IP?
When a wired or wireless network adapter is installed, TCP/IP is usually installed. If TCP/IP is not installed on the computer,
refer to the documentation that accompanied with the network adapter.
Likewise, the typical installation configures the computer to automatically obtain an IP address and other Internet protocol
information from a DHCP server.

6. To ensure that PPPoE is enabled and that the status shows a successful connection, click the Device Status tab.
How do I configure the Dell TrueMobile 2300 for either dynamic vs. static IP addresses?
