Connecting to the Internet

After installing the modem, check that you can connect to the Internet. You can retrieve an IP address for your computer’s network interface using one of the following options:

•Retrieve the statically-defined IP address and DNS address

•Automatically retrieve the IP address using the Network DHCP server

The modem provides a DHCP server on its LAN. Motorola recommends that you configure your LAN to obtain the IPs for the LAN and DNS server automatically.

Make sure all computers on your LAN are configured for TCP/IP. After configuring TCP/IP on your computer, you should verify the IP address.

Note: For UNIX or Linux systems, follow the instructions in the applicable user documentation.

Configuring TCP/IP in Windows XP

1.Open the Control Panel.

2.Double-click Network Connections to list the Dial-up and LAN or High-Speed Internet connections.

3.Right-click the network connection for your network interface.
