SETTING UPTHEPC TO REQUEST AN IP ADDRESS
The modem, as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, provides an IP address

IP addresses to the devices on your LAN, ensure that the TCP/IP properties are set to
automatically obtain the IP address from the modem.
The following is an example of how to set up the PC using Microsoft
