Configuring your public network

Configuring the SOHO public network for static addressing

If you are assigned a static address, then you must transfer the permanent address assignment from your computer to the SOHO itself. Instead of communicating directly to your computer, the ISP will now communicate first through the SOHO. To do this you must both modify the static settings on your personal computer as well as enter the information into the SOHO Configuration pages.

NOTE The SOHO supports a mini, onboard Web server which provides a Web interface for configuring the unit. Therefore, the SOHO configuration pages are reached via your Web browser. Simply point your Web browser to the internal, Private IP address of the SOHO to reach these Web pages.

On your computer:

1Click Start => Settings => Control Panel.

The Control Panel window appears.

2Double-click the Network icon.

The Network dialog box appears.

3Double-click the TCP/IP network component which is bound

to your Ethernet card. Look for (Ethernet) in parentheses.

The Properties window appears with the addressing information already filled in.

4Select the Obtain an IP address automatically option. Click

OK.

Reminder: The wording may differ slightly depending on the operating system. A similar option, however, is found on all platforms.

5If prompted with “Do you want to enable DHCP?” click Yes.

6Save the changes.
