After installation, connecting to Data Truck Internet Service is easy!
We deliver all configuration information directly to your computer or router via
DHCP so you don't need to worry about setting IP address, default gateway, or DNS settings.
Simply plug your computer or router into our modem and you're ready to go.
For customers with specific needs, we can provide static IP addresses either via static DHCP or
manual IP configuration. Contact us for more details.
We provide an ethernet connection and all information needed
to access the Internet.
Because every installation is different, we do
not perform the connection between our service and your computer or
network.
We can refer you to Local
Retail/Service Providers if you are unable to make the connection on your
own, but a new connection is typically "plug and play" for almost any
computer or router.
A single PC containing a NIC (Network Interface Card) may be connected directly to our modem
using the cable that we provide. If you don't use a router, we recommend using a software firewall
such as Windows Firewall (XP/Vista) or ZoneAlarm, a free software firewall available from
ZoneLabs.
If you plan to connect more than one computer to our service, we recommend the use of a router.
Typical Small-Office/Home-Office routers are capable of connecting 2 or more
computers to your Data Truck internet service.
See the Local Retailer/Service Providers section of
this site for local resellers of routers, such as
the LinkSys
wired and wireless series, which are extremely easy to set up.
