— Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the
gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your
ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it
also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not
transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here.
— Gateway’s MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the gateway
on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network
interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only
accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your gateway to
masquerade as that PC by “cloning” its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address.” The
gateway will then capture and use the MAC address of the PC that you are now using.
You must be using the one PC that is allowed by the ISP. Or, select “Use this MAC
address” and enter it.
