choose your connection method (ask your administrator or your ISP, if you don’t
know):
 Manually
 Using DHCP with a manual address
 Using DHCP
 Using BootP
 PPP
If you’re unsure which method to use, “Using DHCP” might 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
Note: If you selected “Using DHCP with a manual address,” you don’t need a subnet
mask or router address.
If you selected “Using DHCP,” gather the following optional information (ask your ISP
whether you need it):
 DHCP client ID
 DNS servers
