Obtain an IP Address Automatically Your connection is configured by default
to act as a DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case your service
provider supports DHCP, or if you are connecting using a dynamic IP address. The
server that assigns the gateway with an IP address, also assigns a subnet mask.
You can override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting the 'Override
Subnet Mask' and specifying your own mask instead. You can click the 'Release'
button to release the current leased IP address. Once the address has been re-
leased, the button text changes to 'Renew'. Use the 'Renew' button to renew the
leased IP address.
