Using the iCEBOX Modes
Configuring Connection Settings
The iCEBOX can connect to the Internet in three different ways:
•
Wired (Ethernet) Broadband
•
Wireless (802.11b) Broadband
•
Dial-Up
Configuring a Wired Broadband Connection
If you’ve installed the included PCMCIA Network card for a wired (ether-
net) Broadband connection, further configuration may not be needed. The
iCEBOX is set by default to support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), which is suitable for most households. If your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) support DHCP, the iCEBOX should connect automatically
when you go to Internet Mode.
However, if you use a Static IP address further information is required to
connect. Your ISP will need to provide you with a static IP address, subnet
mask, gateway router and DNS servers.

nection settings the first time you go to Internet Mode. This may include a
