Configuring your private network

  N

OTE

To disable the SOHO DHCP server and assign addresses statically on your 
private network, open the SOHO Configuration menu, click Private 
Network, and disable the checkbox labelled Enable DHCP Server. This is 
not recommended for most SOHO users.

Configure additional computers to the private 
network

Up to four computers can be plugged directly into the four 
numbered ports (1-4) of the SOHO. A larger number of computers 
can be networked together by using one or more readily available 
10BaseT Ethernet hubs with RJ-45 connectors. The SOHO system 
will coexist with other communications over the same local area 
network, and you can mix computers with different operating 
systems. If you wish to add one or more computers to your private 
network:

1

Ensure that any additional computer has an Ethernet card 
installed. Shut the computer down, connect it to the network 
the same way you did in “Cabling the SOHO for more than 
four computers” on page 8. Restart the computer.

2

Set the computer to obtain its address dynamically.

3

Turn off and restart the computer.

4

Release and renew the IP configuration.

See “Release and renew the IP configuration” on page 19.. The computer 

will then obtain its TCP/IP settings dynamically from the SOHO unit.
