Changing A Dynamic IP to Static - To assign a static IP to your LAN card, goto Network Connections (in control panel).
- Right click on 'Local Area Connection' and select properties.
- Select TCP/IP properties over here. Now set your IP address to 192.168.1.x (Here x can be anything between 2-40), Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway to 192.168.1.1. You can use any of the DNS servers mentioned here, or choose to obtain them automatically.
Note: Bridge Mode might still work with DHCP server enabled in which case u dont need to change IP address from dynamic (assigned by router) to static. However, correct implementation of Bridge Mode requires disabling of DHCP server.
Creating The Connection (Windows XP only)- Now in Network Connections, select 'Create A New Connection' from the common tasks pane.
- Select 'Connect to the Internet' >> 'Setup my connection manually' >> 'Connect using broadband that requires username and password'.
- Select a name for your connection. Then enter your username (i.e. your phone number) and password.
- Create a shortcut for this connection on your desktop for ease of use later on.
- For Win 98 or other Operating Systems not having a built-in PPPoE client, RASPPoE can be used from here
This completes the bridge mode configuration. Now to use your internet connection, first switch on your modem, and then dial this connection. Note that now, connecting and disconnecting this connection is equivalent to rebooting by turning your modem on/off. Disconnection marks the end of your current session.
