1.1, then you could set
the IP address of your Internet connection to something like 192.168.1.2
or 192.168.1.73.
Don??™t confuse these addresses with the IP addresses used on
your private network. The local IP address of your bridge
and the IP address for your Internet connection that you
enter here form the tiny, third network mentioned at the
beginning of this section. Alternatively, you could set your
router to obtain its IP address automatically (back in step 6),
a strategy that may or may not work depending on how
cooperative your bridge is.
9. Finally, set the DNS server addresses in your router setup to the IP
addresses of your Internet Service Provider??™s DNS servers.
If you don??™t know which ISP is responsible for the public network you??™re
trying to connect to, try connecting directly with your PC once more.
Open a web browser, type http://www.annoyances.org/ip in the address
bar, and press Enter; this will show the true IP address of your Internet
connection. Then, open a Command Prompt window and type nslookup
ip_address, where ip_address is the set of four numbers reported by
Annoyances.org. This gives you the name of your ISP, plus some extra
stuff. So, you might see something like dsl456.eastcoast.superisp.net,
which means your ISP is superisp.net. Then, it??™s only a matter of visiting
the ISP??™s web site (e.g., http://www.superisp.net/) and determining its DNS
server addresses from its online documentation.
