Obtaining an IP Address for an Ethernet Connection
You can use either of the following two options to obtain the IP address for the network interface
on your computer:
•
Retrieve the statically defined IP address and DNS address
•
Automatically retrieve the IP address using the Network DHCP server
The Motorola SBG901 gateway provides a DHCP server on its LAN. It is recommended that you
configure your LAN to obtain the IPs for the LAN and DNS server automatically.
Configuring TCP/IP
Make sure all client computers are configured for TCP/IP, which is a protocol for communication
between computers. Perform one of the following for the operating system you are running:
•
Configuring TCP/IP in Windows 2000
•
Configuring TCP/IP in Windows XP
•
Configuring TCP/IP in Windows Vista
•
For UNIX systems, follow the instructions in the applicable UNIX user documentation.
After configuring TCP/IP on your computer, you must verify the IP address. Perform one of the
following:
•
Verifying the IP Address in Windows 2000 or Windows XP
•
Verifying the IP Address in Windows Vista
For UNIX systems, follow the instructions in the applicable UNIX user documentation.
Your cable provider may provide additional instructions to set up your computer.
