should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via PPPoE/PPPoA” screen. If

Obtain an IP Through DHCP

Select this option (used for cable modem configurations without a Static

and receive IP address and routing information. Some ISPs need to authenticate

their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name.Ifthis is the case, check

with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the “Broadband

Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the

text boxes blank.

from the computer originally connected to the cable modem.
