Gather network information
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) give IP addresses to their
customers automatically through DHCP. Some providers use a static IP
address for each customer, or use PPPoE for authentication.
• If your ISP gives you an IP address automatically, go to Step 4.
• If your ISP gives you a static IP address or requires PPPoE
authentication, record your network information below.
Use the documentation from your ISP, or contact them for
more information.
