Obtain an IP Address Automatically Your connection is configured by default to act as a
DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case your service provider supports DHCP,
or if you are connecting using a dynamic IP address. The server that assigns the gateway with
an IP address, also assigns a subnet mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet
mask by selecting the ‘Override Subnet Mask’ and specifying your own mask instead. You can
click the ‘Release’ button to release the current leased IP address. Once the address has been
released, the button text changes to ‘Renew’. Use the ‘Renew’ button to renew the leased IP
address.
