Internet Setup – Dynamic IP Address
A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to
automatically obtain its global IP address from a DHCP server
on the ISP’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP
address from a pool of addresses available to the service
provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease
time, so it will likely be the same address each time the Router
requests an IP address.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address WAN connection, follow
these steps:
1. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu.
This defines both the connection protocol and
encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are
1483 Bridged IP LLC
and
1483
Bridged IP VC-Mux
. If you have not been provided
specific information for the Connection Type setting,
leave the default setting.
2. Some ISPs record the unique MAC Address of your
computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access their
network. This can prevent the Router (which has a
different MAC address) from being allowed access to the
ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC
address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, click the
Copy MAC Address
button.
3. The
Enable Firewall
should remain selected for most
users. If you deselect to disable this you will not be able
to use the some of the features configured in the firewall
and filter windows located in the
Advanced
directory.
The next chapter contains a separate section describing
these Advanced features.
4.
Enable NAT
should remain selected. If you disable NAT,
you will not be able to use more than one computer for
Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual
connections, NAT functions system-wide, therefore if it is
not selected, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
