Does the DIRECTV DSL gateway act as a DHCP host or client?
When you first install the DIRECTV DSL gateway, it acts as a DHCP client to receive an IP address from the server. It retains that address permanently as your static IP address. Each time you connect to the Internet thereafter, the DIRECTV DSL gateway acts as a DHCP host assigning an IP address to your computer (or to each computer in your home network, if you’re using Network Address Translation).
