Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
If you are like most users, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your
LAN PCs. Your ISP automatically assigns this information.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your
PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the PAMSPAN 3000 to assign it.
This option may be desirable (but not required) if:
•
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always associate
with specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as a public web
server).
•
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in Appendix B).
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand, or contact your ISP if
you do not know it:
•
The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each PC to which you will be
assigning static IP information.
•
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the address
assigned to the LAN port on the G.SHDSL2/2+ Router. By default, the LAN port is
assigned this IP address:
192.168.1.1
. (You can change this number, or another
number can be assigned by your ISP.)
•
The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions on
