Configuring the TCP/IP Protocol
To connect to the Internet through the CPE’s Ethernet port, a computer must have
an Ethernet network interface card installed, and be configured for the TCP/IP
protocol. Many service providers will configure TCP/IP for client computers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Other service providers may specify an IP configuration (known as
a static IP address), which must be entered manually.
Carry out the following steps to check that the computer’s Ethernet port is correctly
configured for DHCP.
