private LAN. If you do not keep a private LAN, the “Device IP Settings” menu at the left
side will disappear.
Multiple PPPoE: You can define more than one PPPoE sessions by using this option.
The primary session is configured at the ISP Settings page, and other sessions are
configured at the Multiple PPPoE page.
3. You use DHCP to connect to the Internet (most likely through a cable modem connection).
In this case, your ISP may require you to configure the Host Computer Name:
•
Host Name: The Host Name provided by your ISP.
4. You use PPTP to connect to the Internet. In this case, your ISP requires you to configure
PPTP's tunnel IP address, the username, and password. In this case, configure the static IP
address as in the above and then configure the following information:
•
PPTP Local IP Address: the IP address on the local side of the PPTP tunnel provided
by your ISP.
•
PPTP IP Netmask: the Netmask on the local side of the PPTP tunnel provided by your
ISP.
•
PPTP Remote IP Address: the IP address of the remote side of the PPTP tunnel
provided by your ISP.
•
User Name: the username of your ISP account.
•
Password: the password of your ISP account.
•
Idle time: The Idle Timeout is the number of seconds of "inactivity" before the PPTP
connection is taken down.
Its value should be between 0 to 60 minutes, with 5 (minutes) being the default value, and
0 meaning the connection will never time out.
5. Cloned MAC Address: Some ISPs expect a PC to be connected to their service, and use the
MAC address of this PC’s LAN card for identification purposes. By checking the following
“Cloned MAC address” square check box, your 802.11a+g Router allows a MAC address to
be configured and “cloned” in the router to simulate a PC.
If the device is a PC based on WIN 95/98/Me, you can run winipcfg to find out the MAC Address
of its LAN card. If the device is a PC based on WIN 2000/NT/XP, you need to run "ipconfig/all"
to find out the MAC address of its LAN card.
