Setting your Connection Type to Modem Only (Disable
Internet Sharing)
In this mode, the Modem/Router simply acts as a bridge passing
packets across the DSL port. It requires additional software to be
installed on your computers in order to access the Internet.
1. VPI/VCI -
Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to
IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information
into the Modem/Router. The “Automatic from ISP” box
(1)
should
be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address.
If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to
enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your
connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic or
PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address. Leave
the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address
settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS
entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes”

to save the
settings.
