Configuring your private network

NOTE To disable the SOHO DHCP server and assign addresses statically on your private network, open the SOHO Configuration menu, click Private Network, and disable the checkbox labelled Enable DHCP Server. This is not recommended for most SOHO users.

Configure additional computers to the private network

Up to four computers can be plugged directly into the four numbered ports (1-4) of the SOHO. A larger number of computers can be networked together by using one or more readily available 10BaseT Ethernet hubs with RJ-45 connectors. The SOHO system will coexist with other communications over the same local area network, and you can mix computers with different operating systems. If you wish to add one or more computers to your private network:

1Ensure that any additional computer has an Ethernet card installed. Shut the computer down, connect it to the network the same way you did in “Cabling the SOHO for more than four computers” on page 8. Restart the computer.

2Set the computer to obtain its address dynamically.

See “Determining whether your ISP uses dynamic or static addressing” on page 13..

3Turn off and restart the computer.

4Release and renew the IP configuration.

See “Release and renew the IP configuration” on page 19.. The computer will then obtain its TCP/IP settings dynamically from the SOHO unit.
