DNS
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server
is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal
Resource Links) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs
do not require you to enter this information into the Router. 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.
PPPoE
Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use
an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE
to log you into the service.
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
1.
Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required
to connect to the Internet.
2.
Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that
you use to connect to the Internet.
3.
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your
browser to get on the Internet.
To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and
password in the spaces provided. After you have typed in your
information, click “Apply Changes”.
After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read
“connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.
PPPoA
Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”.
Click “Apply” to activate your settings.
1.
