A small number of cable modem/DSL
customers have static IP, in which they
are assigned a permanent IP address
that never changes. Most customers
instead have DCHP or PPPoE and
should follow the steps in sections 1-6;
however, if you are certain you have
static IP and not PPPoE or DHCP, use
the following steps to install your TA.
For additional info see “I may have a
static IP address but I am not sure” in
