If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP
address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don't have to enter them manually. Most home networks are
Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP
address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV's Network Setup Screen when you set up
the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.
You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems
that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.
