Some ISPs—most notably some cable providers—configure
their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet
address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your
home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page
address is something very simple, such as “www”, rather than
“www.linksys.com”, or your e-mail server’s address is something similar to “e-
mail” or “pop3”, rather than “pop.mail.linksys.com”, you won’t be able to prop-
erly configure your Cable/DSL & Voice Router until you determine the actual
Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections.
You
mmuusstt
obtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network.
You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP, or you can turn to page
36 to learn how to
ping
for an IP address.
