4.6.4 Example Network Configuration

In this example, your notebook has a wired connection to the company network (N) and
receives an IP address automatically from the company DHCP server. It has a wireless
connection to the WPA-1000. The WPA-1000 is set to use its default IP address and is also set
to be a DHCP server.
