your Computer to be within the same subnetmask as the ADSL Router, otherwise
you can't access the router as described in chapter 5.
The default router IP address is: 192.168.1.1 and the default router subnetmask is:
255.255.255.0
By default, the DHCP server in the router is activated. This will mean that your PC
connected to the router will get an automatic IP address if configured as described
in chapter 4.1
If you don't want to use the automatic assigned IP address,You can also set the IP
address of network card in the PC manually. Go to chapter 4.2 In case you set the
IP address manually, you also need to set the Gateway on the network card. Go to
chapter 4.3 to set the gateway.
