Network Setup
The Network Setup section sets your broadband modem router to work cor-
rectly with machines connected through its LAN (Ethernet) ports.
Local IP Address
This is the gateway’s IP address on the LAN — the address by which local
machines contact the gateway. The default setting is 192.168.11.1. When this
and the default subnet mask are used, other machines on the network can
have IP addresses from 192.168.11.2 through 192.168.11.254.
Subnet Mask
This is a four-part value used by all the machines on the physical LAN to in-
dicate whether or not the network is divided into subnets. The default value,
255.255.255.0 (together with the default local IP address), indicates that the
network is undivided. When a network is divided, communication between
subnets requires routers or similar gateway devices.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP is the Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol, a way of automatically
assigning IP settings to machines on a network. Most personal computers are
set to act as DHCP clients; when they boot up, they request IP settings from
a DHCP server. The modem router is set to act as a DHCP server by default.
Consult the online help for detailed information on the advanced options
available in this section.

Protocol (NTP) server’s IP address from which the time will be updated.
