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 ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host
Name and/or Domain Name.Ifthis 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.
