First, choose your connection method (ask your system administrator or your ISP if
you don’t know):

 Using BootP

If you’re unsure which method to use, “Using DHCP” may be a good choice, because
the network supplies most of the required information for you automatically.
If you selected “Manually” or “Using DHCP with a manual address,” gather the
following:
 IP address
 Subnet mask*
 Router address*
*If you selected “Using DHCP with a manual address,” you don’t need a subnet mask or
router address.
If you selected “Using DHCP,” ask your ISP if you need the following optional
information:
 DHCP client ID
 DNS servers
