. The

and the time and date.

Network Addressing Mode
The
Network Addressing Mode
menu determines the network address scheme of
your SonicWALL. It includes four options:
Standard
,
NAT
Enabled
,
NAT with DHCP
Client
and
NAT with PPPoE
.
•
Standard
mode requires valid IP addresses for all computers on your network, but
allows remote access to authenticated users.
•
NAT
Enabled
mode translates your network's private IP addresses to the Son-
icWALL's single, valid IP address. Select
NAT Enabled
if your ISP assigned you
only one or two valid IP addresses.
•
NAT with DHCP Client
mode configures the SonicWALL to request IP settings
from a DHCP server on the Internet.
NAT with DHCP Client
is a typical network
addressing mode for cable and DSL customers.
