Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
If you are a typical user, you will not need to assign static Internet information to
your LAN PCs because your ISP automatically assigns this information for you.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or
all of your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the Wireless
ADSL2+ Router to assign it. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always •
associate with specic computers (for example, if you are using a computer
as a public web server).
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in Ap-•
pendix B).
