Reference Manual for the Model DG834 ADSL Firewall Router
Connecting the Router to the Internet
3-17
Note
: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834 configuration settings to
the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834 in a setting where you
will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
1.
If your Internet connection
does
require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
Note
: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you
in.
2.
Choose PPPoA for the encapsulation method your ISP uses.
3.
Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), and password.
4.
If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the
LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
5.
Internet IP Address:
•
Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign these addresses.
•
Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP
address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned.
6.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
•
Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
•
Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP has assigned you DNS server addresses.
Enter the Primary and Secondary DNS server addresses that your ISP provided.
7.
You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns
private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only
standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834 uses. Classical routing
should selected only by experienced users.
Note
: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834 configuration settings to
the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834 in a setting where you
will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
