TCP/IP Addressing

Dynamic IP Addressing	Select Dynamic IP Addressing if clients will be assigned an IP address by a DHCP server when they dial in to the Sign-up Server.
Static IP Addressing	Select Static IP Addressing if you want to assign an IP address now that will be used by all clients.  Type an address that will be assigned to all clients during their sign-up session.


DNS Addressing

Dynamic DNS Addressing	Select Dynamic DNS Addressing if clients will be assigned a DNS server address when they dial in to the Sign-up Server.
Static DNS Addressing	Select Static DNS Addressing if you want clients to have the IP address of a particular DNS server, such as a proxy server (firewall).
