Network Connections
34
Use
PPPoE
if your ISP uses username and password authentication to access the
Internet. Use
DHCP
if your ISP does not require a username and password, or your ISP
instructed you to obtain an IP address dynamically. If your ISP has given you an IP
address or address range, you must
Manually Assign Settings
.
For
PPPoE
, enter the user name and password for your ISP account. By default, your
SnapGear appliance maintains the ADSL connection continuously. Alternatively you may
choose to only bring the connection up when PCs on the LAN are trying to reach the
Internet by checking the
Connect on Demand
box. If you are connecting on demand,
enter an
Idle Disconnect Time
. This is the time (in minutes) that the SnapGear
appliance will wait before disconnecting when the connection is idle.
DHCP
connections may require a
hostname
to be specified, but otherwise all settings
are assigned automatically by your ISP.
For
Manually Assign Settings
connections, enter the
IP Address
,
Netmask
and
optionally the
Gateway
and the
DNS Address
if provided by your ISP. Multiple DNS
addresses may be entered separated by commas.
Reboot
the SnapGear appliance for the new configuration to take effect.
If you are unsure of the ADSL connection method, select
Auto detect ADSL connection
type
and your SnapGear appliance will attempt to automatically determine the
connection method.
Direct Internet
If you have a direct connection to the Internet, select this option. Typically your ISP will
have provided you with network settings (possibly a range of IP addresses), or asked you
to auto-configure using DHCP.
To use DHCP, check the
DHCP Assigned
check box. You may also enter one or more
DNS Server(s)
, however any DNS server addresses allocated by your ISP will take
precedence over these.
