The CPE (customer Premises
Equipment) has a DHCP Server. This means that you can
automatically obtain an IP address, DNS servers and gateway
address to allow you to access the Internet. If you are
using Microsoft Windows XP then please ensure the following
setting is selected within your Network Configuration
settings. ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’.
First go to the Start button and then go to
Settings - Control Panel
Then go to Network and Dial-Up Connections
and right-click on the Local Area Connection.

Once you have right-clicked on Local Area Connection, you
need to choose ‘Properties’. The next
screenshot will show you the appropriate screen.

In this screen, you need to select ‘TCP/IP’
and then click ‘Properties’.

In order to obtain the correct information for your
Computer, please ensure that ‘Obtain an ip address
automatically' and ‘Obtain DNS server
address automatically’ (as shown in the above
screen shot) is selected.
Once this is done, the computer is completely configured and
ready to connect to the Internet. |
