116 Appendix C Connecting to the Internet
To set up a DSL, cable modem, LAN, or AirPort Extreme wireless connection, choose
your connection method (ask your system administrator or your ISP, if you don’t
know):
 Manually
 Using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) with manual address
 Using DHCP
 Using BootP
 PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
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 select “Manually” or “Using DHCP with a manual address,” gather the following:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Router address
Note: If you select “Using DHCP with a manual address,” you don’t need a subnet mask
or router address.
If you select “Using DHCP,” gather the following optional information (ask your ISP if
you need it):
 DHCP client ID
 DNS servers
