Appendix A

Computer settings

For proper operation of the satellite modem, you may have to change certain 
settings on the computer that is connected to the modem.

Instructions are provided for configuring a computer to support DHCP.

The following sections explain this procedure. 

Understanding the modem address and computer address

The satellite modem and any computer or computers that connect to it must each 
have their own identifying network address. This network address is known as an 

IP 

address

. An IP address may be 

dynamic

, meaning that it can change, or 

static

meaning that it is fixed-it does not change. An IP address may also be public (or 

routable

), meaning that it can be used on the Internet. A 

private

 IP address works on 

an internal network but not over the Internet. However, to gain access to the 
Internet, private addresses may be converted by a network address translation (NAT) 
service to a public IP address that can be used on the Internet. Both private and 
public addresses can be dynamic or static.

Configuring a computer to use DHCP

DHCP is a protocol that allows a computer to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server 
on a network when the computer connects to the network. This type of IP address is 
called a 

dynamically assigned

 IP address because it can change when the computer 

disconnects from the network and later re-connects.

The satellite modem incorporates a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to computers 
that connect to it. The modem can assign 

dynamic

 IP addresses or 

static

 

IP addresses

depending on the service plan purchased by the satellite modem customer.

Configuring Windows 7 to use DHCP

1. From the Windows desktop, select 

Start 

>

 Control Panel 

Network and 

Sharing Center

.

2. Look for the Local Area Connection link indicated by the arrow in 

Figure 19
