In Step 2, you will need the setup
instructions provided by your Inter­net Service Provider (ISP). If you do
not have this information, then con­tact your ISP before proceeding.

The instructions from your ISP tell you
how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using
the Router to share Internet access
among several computers, you will
use the setup information to config­ure the Router instead of your PC.

NOTE:: Make sure your PC’s Ethernet
adapter is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. For more information,
refer to Windows Help.
