1. A Home Internet Network with A Residential Gateway/Router
(Network administrators with Dynamic IPs can also follow these
instructions.)
If you have two or more computers (laptops or desktops) and want to share
files, printers, and Internet access using a DHCP-capable Residential
Gateway/Router – or - if you want to connect to an Ethernet network that
uses Dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses, then follow the instructions on the next
page.
Requirements: A Residential Gateway/Router connected with an
Ethernet (CAT5) cable to an 802.11g Access Point.
DHCP stands for
Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol.
It is a protocol for
assigning dynamic IP
addresses
“automatically.” With a
DHCP-capable
gateway, there is no
need to manually
assign an IP address.
