DSL, Cable Modem, or LAN Internet Connections
If you connect to the Internet using a DSL or cable modem or Ethernet LAN, ask your
ISP or network administrator how you should configure your Internet connection:
Â
Manually:
With a manual configuration, your ISP or network administrator provides
a static IP address and other information that you enter in Network preferences.
Â
Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP):
With a DHCP configuration,
the DHCP server automatically enters the information for you.
Â
Using Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE):
If you use a DSL modem and
need a user name and password to connect to the Internet, you may need to
configure your network to use PPPoE.
