Setup your P-660 under bridge mode
If the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet, that means only the
traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be filtered. In this
case, we use P-660 which works as an ADSL bridge modem to connect to the ISP.
The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit only one computer to
access the Internet. See the figure below for this setup.
Set up your workstation
1. Ethernet connection
To connect your computer to the P-660's LAN port, the computer must have an
Ethernet adapter card installed. For connecting a single computer to the P-660, we
a cross-over Eth ernet cable.
2. TCP/IP configuration
In most cases, the IP address of the computer is assigned by the ISP dynamically so
you have to configure the computer as a DHCP client which obtains the IP from the
ISP using DHCP protocol. The ISP may also provide the gateway, DNS via DHCP if
they are available. Otherwise, please enter the static IP addresses for all that the ISP
gives to you in the network TCP/IP settings. For Windows, we check the option
'Obtain an IP address automatically' in its TCP/IP setup, please see the example
shown below.
