Configuring Non-DHCP Computers
The Broadband DSL/Cable Firewall Router can be used
with computers that do not support DHCP. Follow these
steps to identify and configure non-capable DHCP
computers.
1. Determine if any computers on your network are not
DHCP capable. An example of a non-DHCP capable
computer would be a DOS/Windows 3.x computer
running an older version of TCP/IP software from a
third-party vendor.
2. On each non-DHCP computer, enter the following
information when configuring TCP/IP:
a. IP Address (See the Selecting an IP Address
section).
b. Subnet Mask (typically 255.255.255.0 for a Class C
IP address).
c. Gateway IP Address (192.168.1.1 is the default).
d. Primary DNS Server IP Address (provided by your
ISP).
e. Secondary DNS Server IP Address (optionally
provided by your ISP).
f. Domain Name (optionally provided by your ISP).
