Light test
You can try Frubee even if the PC has already an IP address and it's connected to the router via DHCP.
Run Frubee.
To restore the original configuration restart PC (PC could have another IP address).
Full test
To avoid the risk of no longer be able to connect, before running the full test, it's advisable to check if Frubee connects to Internet with the mode aforementioned, that is not by manually editing the original configuration.
For details read below.
1. Disable DHCP server in the router
2. Disable DHCP client in Puppy Linux distro: run "mv /usr/sbin/dhcpcd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd_"
3. Restart PC
4. Run Frubee
5. Re-enable DHCP server in the router
6. Re-enable DHCP client in Puppy Linux distro: run "mv /usr/sbin/dhcpcd_ /usr/sbin/dhcpcd"
7. Restart PC
Frubee also can be used if the DHCP doesn't work or is not present.
