ISP Connection Information
Before you can begin installing your SonicWALL, determine how your ISP distributes IP addresses. Call
your ISP to find out if your Internet connection uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, or PPPoE (typical of
DSL access), or if they have given you a static IP address. Record all of your networking information in the
checklist below:
