If you do not see these values, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch the
Configure setting to a different option, then back again to Using DHCP Server .
3.5 Your Internet Account
For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user
Internet access account using an external broadband access device such as a cable modem or DSL modem.
This modem must be a separate physical box (not a card) and must provide an Ethernet port intended for
connection to a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a computer.
For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information for one computer.
With a typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your
computer is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic
information.
In order to share the Internet connection among several computers, your wireless SOHO Firewall gateway
takes the place of the single computer, and you need to configure it with the TCP/IP information that the
single computer would normally use. When the wireless SOHO Firewall gateway’s WAN port is connected
to the broadband modem, the wireless SOHO Firewall gateway appears to be a single computer to the ISP.
The wireless SOHO Firewall gateway then allows the computers on the local network to masquerade as the
single computer to access the Internet through the broadband modem. The method used by the wireless
SOHO Firewall gateway to accomplish this is called Network Address Translation (NAT) or IP
masquerading.
3.5.1 Login Protocols
Some ISPs require a special login protocol. In this case, you will need to know what type of protocol is
used, and you will need a login name and password. The two common protocols are:
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Two common PPPoE clients are WinPOET and EntreNet.
RoadRunner
Not all RoadRunner service areas require a login protocol. If your ISP is RoadRunner, you should
ask whether your computer must run a RoadRunner login program.
After your network and wireless SOHO Firewall gateway are configured, the wireless SOHO Firewall
gateway will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to login from your computer.
3.5.2 Account Information
Unless the ISP dynamically assigns these items, your ISP should give you the following basic information
for your account:
