2 PC Network Configuration and Login
2.1 PC Network Configuration
Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically defined
IP address and DNS address, or be instructed to automatically obtain an IP address
using the network DHCP server. DSL router provides a DHCP server on its LAN and
it is recommended to configure your LAN to automatically obtain its IP address and
DNS server IP address.
