EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch
Chapter 4: Connecting the Router
Overview
To set up your network, do the following:
•Connect the Router to one of your PCs.
•If necessary, configure your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically from the Router. (By default, Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, and XP computers are set to obtain an IP address automatically, so unless you have changed the default setting, then you will not need to configure your PCs.)
•Configure the Router with the setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request the information. Once you have the setup information for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can begin installation and setup of the Router.
