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.

leased IP address.
