enter manually. To configure the Router you will need to 
know the following:
■ IP address
■ Subnet Mask
■ ISP Gateway address
■ DNS address(es)

Dynamic IP addressing (or DHCP) automatically assigns the 
Router IP information. This method is popular with Cable pro-
viders. This method is also used if your modem has a built in 
DHCP server.

PIf the installation instructions that accompany your modem 
ask you to install a PPPoE client on your PC, then select this 
option. To configure the Router you will need to know the

lation instructions that accompany your modem ask you to

know the following:
■ Username
■ Password
■ VPN server address (usually your modem).
