Connecting the Firewall to the Internet
202-10098-01, April 2005
a.
Account:
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name.
These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news
servers.
b.
Internet IP Address:
If your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your PC, select
“Use static IP address”. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the
netmask and the Gateway IP address. The Gateway is the ISP’s firewall to which your
firewall will connect.
c.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the firewall
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.
Note:
After completing the DNS configuration, restart the computers on your network so
that these settings take effect.
d.
Firewall’s MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the firewall 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 firewall to masquerade as that PC
by “cloning” its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address.” The firewall
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.
e.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
4.
If your Internet connection does require a login, fill in the settings according to the instructions
below. Select Yes if you normally must launch a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET
in order to access the Internet.
Note:
After you finish setting up your firewall, you will no longer need to launch the ISP’s
login program on your PC in order to access the Internet. When you start an Internet
application, your firewall will automatically log you in.
