•
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1
If your ISP uses Classical IP (RFC1577) or Routed RFC1483, select
Use IP over ATM (IPOA)
.
Fill in the infomation provided to you by your ISP. Type the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gatway
IP address into the correct boxes.
Note:
It is not always necessary to fill in the IPoA
Gateway IP Address
. In a RFC1577
environment, the gateway can be discovered automatically.
DNS Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select
Use These DNS Servers
and type the
primary and secondary addresses.
Otherwise, select
Get Automatically From ISP
.
Note:
If you get 'Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS
servers aren't set up properly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows all LAN PCs to gain Internet access via this Router, by sharing this Router's WAN IP
address. In most situations, NAT is essential for Internet access via this Router. You should only
disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is
performed by this Router. Disabling the Firewall will change the default incoming rule from
"Block" to "Allow",so the protections normally provided by the firewall will be disabled.
Protections against DoS attacks and Port Scans will still be enabled and can be modified in the
WAN Setup page.
Router MAC Address
Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network. This is also referred to as the
computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address.
Usually, select Use Default MAC Address.
If your ISP requires MAC authentification, then select either
Use Computer MAC address
to
disguise the Router's MAC address with the Computer's own MAC address or
Use This MAC
Address
to manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The format for the MAC
address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value may be changed if the
Use Computer MAC
Address
is selected once a value has already been set in the
Use This MAC Address
selection.
