Configuring your public network

of Ethernet and PPP by simulating a standard Dial-Up connection. It is popular among many ISPs because it enables them to use existing Dial-Up infrastructure such as billing, authentication, and security for DSL and cable modems.

Determining whether your ISP uses dynamic or static addressing

Most ISPs support both dynamic and static addressing. To determine if your connection to the Internet is dynamic or static:

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.

Reminder: The wording may differ slightly depending on the operating system and it’s unique settings. A similar option, however, is found on all platforms.
