Default Where do I find my DHCP Client ID?

Hello,

I am installing a wireless router network and the manual says that my
cable company Optus Australia are a WAN type: Dynamic IP and one has to
supply a DHCP 'Client ID' to be set as a router identity.

Where do I find this info ? Is it the same as our normal Optus Cable ID
name, the computer name it recognises, or something else?

Thanks.

If Optus Australia assigned you a specific name to use for your
computer, specify that. If not, I doubt that it matters what you use.

Go to start, run, type cmd. From a command prompt type ipconfig /all. ( a
space between ipconfig and /all).
