
My IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to you by the ISP.

Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the PPTP or L2TP server.
3.2.1 WAN Port IP address
Your ISP assigns you an IP address that is either d ynamic (newly generated each
time you log in) or static (permanent). The IP Address Source option allows you to
define whether the address is statically provided by the ISP or should be received
dynamically at each login. If static, enter your IP address, IPv4 subnet mask, and the
ISP gateway‘s IP address. PPTP and L2TP ISPs also can provide a static IP address
and subnet to configure, however the default is to receive that information
dynamically from the ISP.
3.2.2 WAN DNS Servers
The IP Addresses of WAN Domain Name Servers (DNS) are typically provided
dynamically from the ISP but in some cases you can define the static IP addresses of
the DNS servers. DNS servers map Internet domain names (example:
www.google.com) to IP addresses. Click to indicate whether to get DNS server
addresses automatically from your ISP or to use ISP -specified addresses. If its
latter, enter addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers. To avoid
connectivity problems, ensure that you enter the addresses correctly.
3.2.3 DHCP WAN
For DHCP client connections, you can choose the MAC address of the router to
register with the ISP. In some cases you may need to clone the LAN host‘s MAC
address if the ISP is registered with that LAN host.
