Internet Settings Connection to ISP
Figure 29 Connection to ISP Screen
Select Internet Settings from the main menu. Before beginning this section, ensure
you have the required information from your ISP. (See "Before you Install your
Gateway" on page 14.)
IP Allocation Mode If you enabled PPPoE, this field is automatically set to
Dynamic IP address (automatically allocated) . If PPPoE is disabled, you will also be
able to select Static IP address (to be specified manually) . If you are unsure which
setting you require, your ISP should be able to advise you.
When the Cable/DSL Internet Settings > Connection to ISP page appears (Figure
30), you will be asked to enter the information you received from your ISP. If you
have the information and your ISP has given you an IP address, enter the IP
address, subnet mask address, and ISP Gateway address in the appropriate text
boxes.
If your ISP has given you a DNS (Domain Name Server) address, fill in those
addresses.
