Choose Cable Modem if your ISP will automatically give you an IP address.
Some ISP’s may also require that you fill in additional information such as
Host Name and MAC address (see screen below).
Note
: The Host Name and MAC address section is
optional
and you can
skip this section if your ISP does not require these settings for you to
connect to the Internet.
Parameters Description
Host Name
If your ISP requires a Host Name, type in the host
name provided by your ISP, otherwise leave it blank if
your ISP does not require a Host Name.
MAC Address
Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in
order for you to connect to the Internet. This MAC
address is the PC’s MAC address that your ISP had
originally connected your Internet connection to. Type
in this MAC address in this section or use the “
Clone
MAC Address”
button to replace the WAN MAC
address with the MAC address of that PC (you have to
be using that PC for the Clone MAC Address button to
work). To find out the PC’s MAC address see Appendix
