6. You can simply accept the default IP address (and related Netmask, Broadcast, and
Network numbers) by typing N. If you are creating a new set of addresses for your LAN,
this is a common set of IP addresses for you to use (192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, and so

or if that set of IP addresses is being used on your interface to the Internet.
Would you like to change these settings? [Y/N]: N

example does). The first question is whether to allow demand dialing. Type y if you want
the Internet connection to start up every time someone tries to open a connection to that
interface (say, for trying to browse the Web or sending e-mail from the local system or
any computer on your LAN using this as a route to the Internet):
Do you want to enable the demand dial option [y/n]: y
