The OfficeConnect Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway has the ability to dynamically
allocate network addresses to the computers on your network, using DHCP.
However, your computers need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To
change the configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions
in this chapter. If your computers are configured with fixed or static addresses and
you do not wish to change this, then you should use the Discovery program on the
Gateway CD-ROM to detect and configure your Gateway. Refer to Appendix A for
information on using the Discovery program.
